REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Trustees of the Museum of Fine Arts: THE ROBERT DAWSON EVANS MEMORIAL GALLERIES FOR PAINTINGS

This building was opened formally on February 3, 1915, with an evening reception to the annual sub- scribers and to certain other friends of the Museum; and it was opened for the following week free to all who chose to enter. During this period about twenty thousand people visited the Museum, a number that in itself shows the public appreciation of the impor- tance and the generosity of a gift which added over 40 per cent, to the exhibition space of the Museum. Certainly Mrs. Evans may well feel the satisfaction that only comes to those who render a great public service in a great way. ADMISSIONS

The following is a comparative statement of admis- sions for the years 1913, 1914, and 1915: Paid Free Total 1913 25,125 194,625 219,750 1914 19,659 185,450 205,109 1915 19,982 247,229 267,21

The increase in admissions is due doubtless to the opening of the new building and the consequent increase in the number of works of art exhibited. 12 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS

The following is a comparative statement of the number of annual subscribers and the amount of annual subscriptions for the years 1913, 1914, and 1915-'

Number of Annual Amount of Annual Subscribers Subscriptions 1913 IJ25 $37. 487-00 1914 1,710 38,584.00 1915 1,805 39,758.00

This increase is due presumably to the recognition that the larger service of the Museum entails a larger

expense; and it is especially gratifying in a year of much financial distress and of many appeals for very human needs.

CURRENT INCOME AND EXPENSES

The following is a comparative statement of income

and expenses for the years 1914 and 1915 : —

1914 1915 Increase or Decrease Unrestricted Income from

Trust Investments $66,113.45 $67,488.97 1. J?i. 375 - 5 2 Annual Subscriptions 38,584.00 39,758.00 1. 1,174.00

Net Deficit $13,121.01 $34,279.34 I. 21,158-33

The large increase in the deficit and in the net deficit is due chiefly to the addition of the running expenses of the Evans Memorial Building, and was forecast in the report of last year. The deficit of this REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT 13

year has been made up, necessarily, out of principal of unrestricted funds, as the deficits of other years have been, — a course certainly to be regretted and evidently incapable of long continuance.

DEFICITS AND PURCHASES

The running expenses of 1915 were $162,480.91. These cannot be reduced materially by added econo- mies. They can be reduced by closing a substantial part of the Museum and by giving up a substantial part of its force. But this would mean a great reduc-

tion in the service to the public. Moreover, it would

entail presumably a loss of public interest, and it might well cause a diminution in gifts and bequests which would injure the Museum far more than the current deficits do. Certainly this course should be adopted only as a last resort. Assuming that the running expenses cannot be reduced satisfactorily, the only alternative is to build up a fund to cover ulti- mately these deficits — a new fund to meet practically a new situation.

In the report of 1914 I said:

“The Museum needs an ‘Administration Fund’ of at least $1,000,000 in order that it may be in a position where, with the income of that fund, with the income of the present unrestricted funds and with the usual annual subscriptions, it can pay all running expenses, including those of the Evans Memorial Building.”

In accordance with this suggestion the Museum has this year established an Administration Fund to take over all funds currently received which are re- stricted to the running expenses of the Museum, and 14 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT also approximately 75 per cent, of all funds currently received which are entirely unrestricted, the principal to be kept, as far as possible, intact and the income applied to running expenses. Under this policy the new Administration Fund receives $88,751.44, the balance with accrued interest of the sum which Mrs. Evans gave for the erection of the Evans Memorial Building and which she wishes to have kept intact, the income to be applied to the running expenses of the whole Museum — a wish which the Trustees are very glad to carryout. Under this policy also the Fund receives approximately 75 per cent, of the unrestricted moneys received by be- quests from Miss Katherine C. Pierce, Miss Sarah E. Simpson, Mr. Francis Skinner, Mr. Edward Wheel- wright, and Miss Caroline L. W. French, received in 1915 and to some extent in the latter part of 1914. Subject to final revision, 75 per cent, of the moneys thus received amounts to $170,500. From both sources the Administration Fund should receive about $259,000. While the Museum is little likely to receive so large a sum yearly for this purpose, yet if it continues this policy it will doubtless build up in a few years a very substantial part of the required one million dollars.

In connection with this subject, it is well to bear in mind that, although the current running expenses can- not be reduced satisfactorily, and, indeed, will probably grow in some degree year after year, yet it is not to be expected that they wjll increase materially until by good fortune another building is added to the Museum. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT 15

While the Museum should make a determined effort

to build up a fund to cover these large deficits, it has another important duty to perform. It should increase

its collections through the purchase of works of art of

distinction for permanent public exhibition. If it does this, if it does render a greater service to the public

year after year, it will stimulate a greater interest on their part and presumably will receive a larger support. The Museum has not only turned over to the Administration Fund approximately 75 per cent, of the unrestricted funds currently received, but it has also appropriated approximately 25 per cent, of these funds to the purchase, as occasion arises, of a work of art or works of art for permanent exhibition, carrying in each case the name of the donor of the fund. The Museum

thinks it just and proper that those who give unre- strictedly should have their generosity shown, not only in the financial accounts that are read by the few, but in works of art that are seen by the thousands who year after year visit the Museum. The word “approximately ” needs perhaps brief ex- planation. The word should be given a broad inter- pretation to mean that the amount to be expended should not be very much above or very much below 25 per cent, of each fund. It should not be given a narrow interpretation which would often entail a long delay in purchasing a satisfactory memorial of the donor and would certainly narrow the opportunity of selection. As the amount to be expended for the memorial cannot be definitely stated until the object

is bought, it follows that the residue — “approxi- mately 75 per cent.” — to be turned over to the i6 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

Administration Fund must be subject to revision until that time.

The Museum believes that in thus building up an Administration Fund which will ultimately take care of the current deficits it will obtain the approval of those of its supporters who object to the long con- tinuance of large deficits; and that in thus expending a certain part of each unrestricted fund in a work of art carrying the name of the donor, it will obtain the approval of those who are glad to have public recog- nition shown to donors and at the same time wish to see the collections grow.

ACQUISITIONS

A list of all works of art acquired during 1915 through legacies, gifts and purchases may be found in the accompanying reports of the Director and of those in immediate charge of the Departments. In these reports discriminating and interesting descrip- tions are given of many notable objects acquired during the year, among them the following: one hun- dred and nine Persian and Indian paintings and drawings given by Dr. Denman W. Ross. These, added to the forty-two paintings previously given by Dr. Ross and to the Goloubew collection acquired in 1914, strengthen our high position in the art of Asia. Five hundred and twenty-six embroideries, brocades, velvets, and rugs were given by the same wise and thoughtful friend. Three Italian Primitives were given by Mrs. W. Scott Fitz, a new instance of her sympathetic and continuing generosity. Objects REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT 17 of great interest and importance have been acquired through the excavations in Egypt under Dr. Reisner, excavations rendered possible by the generosity of members of the Visiting Committee to the Egyptian Department and one or two other friends. Owing to the war, these objects have not yet been shipped from Egypt. A beautiful group of Japanese costumes for the classic No dance were acquired with money given jointly by Dr. William Sturgis Bigelow and the Museum. Many prints of very high quality have been acquired this year through the vital interest and generosity of members of the Visiting Committee to the Print Department and of other print lovers, sup- plemented by appropriations by the Museum. During this period also the Museum has purchased several objects of art, among them a distinguished Chinese stone figure of heroic size representing Kuan Yin, Deity of Compassion; two beautiful early Italian paintings; three French tapestries of the best period; and twenty-three paintings purchased in China and representing important schools of Chinese art. Loans always form an important part of the exhi- bitions of the Museum. Among those of the year a very notable one was the loan by Miss Theodora Lyman of the collection of Chinese and Japanese pottery and porcelain made by her brother, the late John Pickering Lyman, a collection exhibited in the Forecourt Room in the latter part of the year and creating widespread interest.

BEQUESTS AND GIFTS OF MONEY

A list of all moneys actually received during 1915 i8 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

through legacies, gifts, and annual subscriptions may be found in the report of the Treasurer on subsequent pages. The legacies amount to $292,287.49; the gifts of money, practically for purchase of works of art, to $60,550.62; and the annual subscriptions towards the payment of running expenses to $39,758.00, — a total of $392,596.11. Moreover, apart from her fund of $88,751.44 spoken of above, Mrs. Robert Dawson Evans has given to the Museum for the benefit of its School a fund of $50,000 in memory of her mother, to be known as the “ Mrs. David Hunt Memorial Fund for Instruction in Sculpture,” the principal to be kept intact and the income to be applied to the payment of scholarships and salary in the Department of Modelling. This is a gift of great importance to the welfare and develop- ment of the School and one which is especially grat- ifying to the Trustees in showing the continuing confidence and interest of Mrs. Evans in the Museum.

Perhaps I may be permitted here to express the gratitude of the Trustees, and I think of the commu- nity, for the generosity tint has been shown to the Museum this year in gifts both of money and of works of art, and to express also the personal inspira- tion which that generosity gives to all who are connected in any way with the Museum. EDUCATION

The Museum has continued to develop the inter- pretation of its own collections by various talks and publications; and instruction in the fine arts generally REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT *9

by its many lectures, its School, its Library, and the

publications of its staff. Interesting and comprehen- sive accounts of these very important matters may be found in the accompanying reports of the Director and of those in immediate charge of the educational departments. TRUSTEES

Mr. John C. Gray died February 25, 1915. At a meeting of the Trustees, held on April 15, 1915, a minute on the death of Mr. Gray was adopted. This minute will be found on page 23. At a meeting of the Trustees, held on January 21, 1915, Mr. William Crowninshield Endicott was elected a Trustee, and at a meeting of the Trustees, held on May 6, 1915, Mr. George Peabody Gardner and Mr. William Endicott were elected Trustees, — all to fill vacancies.

At a meeting of the Trustees, held on April 15, 1915, the following resolution was passed:

“Whereas, Upon the generous offer of Mrs. Robert Dawson Evans to defray the cost of that part of the pro- posed Museum building forming the Picture Block on the P'enway, a building committee was appointed, consisting of Mr. Henry S. Hunnewell, Chairman, Mrs. Evans, and Messrs. Gardiner M. Lane, A. Wadsworth Longfellow and George R. White and ; “ Whereas, Mrs. Evans subsequently offered to defray also the expenses of the structure joining the Picture Block to the Huntington Avenue building ; and “Whereas, The Committee has borne the entire respon- sibility of securing plans for the addition now completed and of supervising its erection ; “ Resolved That the Trustees congratulate , the Committee and themselves on the successful fulfilment of the duty imposed, and desire to record their sense of obligation to 20 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT the Committee, jointly and severally, for the unremitting and judicious labor expended upon the design and construction of the Robert Dawson Evans Galleries for Paintings, and to express their appreciation of the splendid result achieved.”

STAFF

The Museum is again to be greatly congratulated on the individuality, the fine spirit, and the effective service of the Staff, both within the walls and beyond them.

Mr. Francis Gardner Curtis died November 29, 1915. Mr. Curtis was associated with the Chinese and Japanese Department. He brought to this posi- tion wide knowledge and deep-seated interest, and served in it for many years entirely without com- pensation. The Museum is grateful both for the service that he gave and for the generosity that manifested itself in a bequest of $25,000. Mr. Emil Heinrich Richter, the Associate Curator of Prints, has been given a year’s absence, owing to illness. Both as a man and as a valued member of the Staff, he carries with him the hope of the Museum for his swift recovery to health and service.

NEEDS

Last year I spoke of the need of funds to meet our running expenses, to buy works of art, and to carry on our many educational activities. To-day I speak of a greater need. If the Museum is to render a larger service it must create a larger interest. To do this it must both develop and gratify the happinesses of the imagination. It must create a kinship between the —

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT 21

feeling of the man who has wrought a great work of

art and the feeling of the man who beholds it, so that he who cannot express his own feeling shall yet throb

to the expression of it by another. It must give the opportunity of visions, and the thrill of visions. To do all this the Museum must improve the quality of

its collections; it must make even more effective the interpretation of them; and, perhaps above all, it must exhibit them in such a way and in such an environ- ment as to enable the beholder not merely to see them more perfectly, but — and this is a very different thing — to enjoy them more deeply.

A great poem, a great building, a great painting, each is the outcome of a great imagination, that fusing of clarity of vision and intensity of feeling. If it ex- presses the aspiration of the individual it will call to the aspiration of other individuals; and all the more if it expresses the aspiration not merely of the individual, but of his people, of his race. Art is the greatest of all histories; for it is the history, not of food and drink and material things, but of the spirit of life. Men come and go, but art in embodying the souls of men prevails. What should we know of Troy had not Homer sung? what of Egypt’s glorious past did not her sand-swept tombs and temples give her sombre mystic faith ? Museums of fine art have the care of other things than poetry and architecture, yet things that give a kindred feeling. It is true that museums in America find too often that the greatest paintings and sculptures are beyond their possibilities; and even, through lack 22 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT of money, that their buildings must be erected in out- of-the-way places. Yet every museum worthy of the name has its offerings for those whose interest in art is strong enough to bridge some difficulty of access and wide enough to rejoice, not in one or two, but in many kinds of art. Our Museum has these offerings, many of them. Those who have eyes to see and hearts to feel may find satisfaction here: perhaps in some Greek head of the Fourth Century B. C. that in gives, imperishable youth, the loveliness of girlhood ; perhaps in some Chinese sculpture of a thousand years later that gives expression to that desire for mercy common to all religions; perhaps in some primitive of the Fourteenth Century that embodies the wide- spread yet personal intimate adoration of the Virgin and Child; perhaps even in some Rhodian plate that expresses the possibility of beauty in things of daily use.

Great art is the expression of the beauty and mys- tery of life, and to him who understands brings wis- dom, happiness, exaltation. It is not merely for those who are connected with the Museum, it is rather for all who believe in these things to give the increasing opportunity of them to the city that we love. To do this is not a duty; it is a privilege. MORRIS GRAY. JOHN CHIPMAN GRAY

Trustee of the Museum from 1896 to 1915

At a meeting of the Trustees of the Museum, held on

April 1 5, the following minute was adopted :

“John Chipman Gray was born July 14, 1839, and died February 25, 1915. “ Mr. Gray was preeminently a counsellor at law. As practitioner, author, and professor at the Harvard Law School for over thirty-five years, he had a thorough and extensive knowledge of the law and achieved in each of these lines of work exceptional success. Yet he had some- thing far more important than knowledge. He had wisdom, that wisdom which is born of sympathy and justice. As he grew older he became more and more a trusted counsellor in the affairs of men, in matters not only of law, but of finance and of family relations. In each capacity his wisdom brought often a happy solution of the problem, and even where it was unable to achieve that, it brought the peace that comes of the conviction that all was done that could rightly be done. “Mr. Gray was elected a Trustee of this Board February and continued in that position until his death he 13, 1896, ; was a member of the Finance Committee during the last five years of his life. He was not a very active member of the Board, yet he was always one of the first to be con- sulted in cases of difficulty. “ He will be greatly missed here for his wisdom, yet even more for those qualities of friendship which brought him in full degree the respect and affection of men.”

It will be observed that a change has been made in the form of Schedule

4, making a clearer statement of the unrestricted funds, showing total receipts, how and for what they have been used, and the balance now on hand.

The old lease of T Wharf property, of which we own about one-third, having expired in 1913, it was found that extensive repairs were necessary. It is now again leased, and we may hope for income in 1917. The management of this property has never been in our hands. The lessees of the Bartlett property in Chicago having virtually failed, the lease was cancelled, and a forfeit of about $60,000 was received. We can hardly expect so large a return from it for some years, but of the great value of the property there is no question. F. L. HIGGINSON, Treasurer. ANNUAL SUBSCRIBERS FOR THE YEAR 1915

To the Trustees of the Museum of Fine Arts:

I have the honor to submit to you my ninth annual report as Director, together with reports from those in immediate charge of the different departments.

This year again the main work of the Staff has been in connection with the Evans Memorial Galleries and the changes incident to the removal of paintings, prints, and tapestries into their new quarters. On February third the new building was opened with a reception, at which 3,602 persons were present. On this occasion one gallery was hung with paintings from the collection of Mrs. Evans, and in the other galleries ninety-one paintings lent by private owners in Boston were exhibited with paintings owned by the Museum. To these lenders (listed on pages 118 to 126), and in particular to Mrs. Evans and to Mrs. Henry C. Angell, the gratitude of many visitors is due. The interest in this exhibition and in the new building itself is shown by the attendance of 52,115 visitors during the month of February, more than twice the normal number of visitors per month. Judged by the test of actual use the new galleries have proved even better for the exhibition of paintings and prints than had been anticipated. The general disposition of the galleries, their proportions, their fittings, and their lighting by day and by night have proved excellent for their purpose. In particular the Tapestry Gal- lery has received general approval and admiration. More- over, the rooms formerly devoted to paintings, but never satisfactory for them, are excellently adapted for the exhibi- tions of Oriental art that have been placed in them. 76 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR ACQUISITIONS

The acquisitions of the year are described in the depart- ment reports herewith submitted. In the President’s report

(pages 1 6 and 17) the most important ones have been singled out for special mention. DEPARTMENT REPORTS

In the reports from departments of the Museum, atten- tion should be called to certain points of interest.

Department of Prints : In this department the additions from the Ives sale were of unusual importance. It is ex- tremely rare that fine examples of early Italian and German engravings come on the market. With an appropriation from the James Fund and by generous gifts from the Visiting Committee and other friends the Museum was able to secure a most interesting group of these prints. The interest in the Department is indicated by the number of persons who come to study prints, after visiting the exhibition in the galleries; the number was 3,256 in 1915 as com- pared with 3,189 in 1913, the largest previous attendance. In addition to the work of cataloguing and mounting prints, which has progressed favorably, the level of the collection has been raised by removing 10,433 prints which had little or no aesthetic interest to storage in the basement. Mr. Car- rington has again given a course on prints in Harvard University, and has continued to edit The Prmt Collector s

Quarterly. Owing to ill health Mr. Richter obtained leave of absence for a year beginning November first and left for Switzerland. Department of Classical Art: With the aid of Mr. Sanborn, Mr. Caskey has prepared a series of “gallery books” for the use of visitors in the main galleries. These serve as a complete catalogue of objects exhibited, pending the prepa- ration of a printed catalogue. During the autumn Mr. : :

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 77

Caskey has been delivering a course of lectures on ancient art at the Institute of Technology in addition to his work at the Museum. It is gratifying to note the number of clas- sical scholars who come to pursue their studies in this department. Department of Chinese and Japanese Art I desire to call attention to the tribute to Francis Gardner Curtis in the report of the Department. His long studies in this field, his keen appreciation of the best in Eastern art, his skill in the arrangement of exhibitions, and, above all, his devoted inter- est in the Museum, enabled him to perform an unusual ser- vice to the Museum during his ten years’ connection with it. In March Mr. Nakagawa, on invitation of the Museum, came from Japan to study our paintings and work on the catalogue prepared by the late Mr. Okakura. Many of the paintings are illustrated in Mr. Anesaki’s volume on Bud- dhist Art in its Relation to Buddhist Ideals, which has re- cently been published for the Museum. A most important step for the Department is the recommendation of the Com- mittee on the Museum to the Trustees that Mr. Lodge be appointed Curator of Chinese and Japanese Art, the post previously held by Mr. Okakura Kakuzo. Department of Egyptian Art Dr. Reisner’s excavations in Egypt have continued in spite of the war with good success. In this way his organization has been retained and those dependent on his workmen have been kept from privation and suffering. Objects found by him and assigned to this Museum are still in Egypt, waiting till conditions are more favorable for their transportation to Boston. Mr.

Dunham was here till October looking after the collection and revising the catalogue, while Mr. Lyman Story was assisting Dr. Reisner in Egypt till June. Departments of Western Art: As for the other depart- ments the work of hanging paintings has been heavy, because 78 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR

of the opening exhibition and later the summer exhibition in the new galleries, and because new galleries require some experiment to secure the best result. The storage rooms in the basement have been put in order so that paintings in storage can readily be seen and the repair of paintings ; has been carried forward systematically. Several special exhibitions have been organized by the Department of Western Art, and 1,268 students have been at work copying and studying objects in the collections. In the Textile Department 2,152 students have worked in the study room and 844 in the galleries. The increasing use of the Museum by designers and students of design is very gratifying. TRAINING MUSEUM ASSISTANTS

In addition to the changes in Staff already noted, I desire to call attention to the plan by which persons may receive training in museum work by serving as volunteer assistants. With the rapid development of art museums in this country the question of personnel has become important and often difficult. A large museum may train its own assistants, from whom at times a real scholar may be developed to take charge of some department. Even in a large museum, how- ever, the best material may not be available when most needed. Accordingly, courses of training for museum as- sistants have been suggested, for example, in the American

Academy in Rome, and such a course has been instituted at Wellesley College. It does not seem feasible to de- velop regular courses of study in this museum, “vocational courses,” to prepare young persons for museum work. On the other hand it is practicable to receive college graduates who have taken courses in the history of art as “apprentices” or unpaid assistants. A similar plan has been tried success- fully in other museums, both in this country and abroad. In this museum unpaid assistants who have made some study REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 79 of the history of art have been received in the Photograph Department, the Department of Prints, of Western Art, and of Education, on the understanding that they continue the work regularly in the department where they find a place un- til the results of their work have in a measure reimbursed the Museum for the amount of time given by the Curator to their training. In a word, the relation is that of an appren- tice, and at the end of the apprenticeship the assistant either may receive a regular appointment here, or be given a recommendation for a position elsewhere. The advantage of this training is not only that it gives familiarity with the daily routine of museum work, but also that the student gains a real acquaintance with the objects of art with which he expects to deal. In case the American Association of Museums carries out a plan to establish an information bureau for museums seeking assistants, the way would be open for persons who have this training to learn of possible positions for employment. EDUCATIONAL WORK

The activities of the Museum in the line of education show no great change this year except in the direction of normal growth. For young children the work consists of stories based on objects in the Museum, followed by a visit to the galleries to introduce the children to the objects them- selves. The stories have been given by Mrs. Scales in the winter, by Mrs. Cronan and Mrs. Scales in the summer, with a total attendance of 6,555 as compared with 5,718 last year. On Saturday afternoons Mrs. Scales and her assist- ants have made a practice of gathering the children who h; d come to the Museum and discussing with them the objects in which they were interested. This kind of informal “docent service” has proved fruitful in developing a real enjoyment of art in children who may have come only from an interest 8o REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR in what was curious and strange to them. Miss Kallen’s classes for young children have again been successful in creating a sense for the beautiful and a power to express it in children whose natural environment was anything but favorable to art. Her success here has led to the institution of similar work in New York, and to requests for aid in

starting it in Milwaukee, Madison, Toledo, and Chicago. The requests for docent service for classes from the schools continue to outrun the work that any one person can do, though now many teachers bring their own classes without asking aid from the Museum. During the year the number

of pupils in parties with a docent was 3,193 as against 2,5 1 3 the preceding year. With the aid of a committee of teachers ap- pointed by the Boston Council of Ancient Language Teachers

I have prepared and the Museum has had published a hand-

book for students of ancient and modern literature, entitled : “ Greek Gods and Heroes as represented in the Classical

Collections of the Museum.” The object of the book is to direct the attention of the young student “to the original Greek representation of each god or hero which may be

seen here.” Our hope is that through interest in what the

pupil is reading an interest may be developed in Greek sculpture and vase painting.

The list of lectures given in the Museum, of lectures given outside the Museum, of Thursday conferences, and

Sunday docent talks is given in the report of the Supervisor of Education. It may be noted that, apart from students who come to the Museum for copying, for classes in draw- ing, and for work in design, there are between twenty and twenty-five lectures and class room exercises on art held weekly throughout the winter in the Museum. USE OF THE MUSEUM

The question may well be raised whether there is not too REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 81

much stress laid on education, on lectures and conferences and class room instruction, as over against the pure enjoyment to be derived from works of art. It is true that the Museum

is not, and should not become, a school or college even for studies pertaining to art. The justification for courses in the Museum on the history of art, on art criticism, and on

other matters related to art, is that they lead directly to contemplation of objects exhibited in the Museum. In so

far as they fail of this object they do not properly belong in

a museum of fine arts in so far as they succeed in it, and ; —

I believe the courses given in this Museum are successfully directed toward this end, — they do tend to develop the appre- ciation and enjoyment of art. Perhaps no two persons ap- proach a work of art exactly the same path certainly by ; there are many who find in the history of art and in the study of art as related to civilization those points of inter-

est by which their attention is focussed on the painting, or statue, or other object of art in a museum. So long as

this is the case, lectures and courses of instruction serve the

highest purpose of an art museum. At the same time I feel

that we should all bear in mind that education by lectures

and classes is not in itself the main work to be undertaken,

but is rather a means to an end.

The real end of the Museum is attained only as larger and larger numbers of people see intelligently and appreciatively

the works of art it exhibits. Now that the Museum is at a greater distance from the centre of the city, even the ques- tion of attracting visitors cannot be neglected. In the summer special cars, by gift of a generous friend, bring children from school playgrounds and settlement houses by ; other special gifts transportation to the Museum is occasion- ally furnished to parties from evening schools and to certain children studying here. The problem, however, is not the cost of transportation, nor yet the delays often resulting from 82 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR a somewhat irregular street car service, but rather an absence of in interest the works of art exhibited here ; and a real inter- est is needed when the visitor must make a special excursion to reach the Museum. In creating a desire to visit the Museum the cooperation of women’s clubs has been very useful. During the year twenty-six clubs have been annual subscribers to the Museum, thus obtaining free tickets for the use of their members, and much has been done by the Art Committee of the Federation of Women’s Clubs to create an interest in this Museum. Again, the Supervisor of Drawing in the Boston schools has arranged that during the year members of his staff should deliver illustrated lectures on the Museum collections in every public school in Boston. Many lectures on the Museum before clubs and other organi- zations have been given by members of the Museum Staff (see pages 164 to 167). The fact remains that the collections which have been gathered here as yet interest but a very small

proportion of our population ; and one important task for the

Museum is, in one way or another, to make more useful to the community and to the State what has been so generously given for the benefit of the community. The question has been raised whether greater freedom of access to the Museum would appreciably affect the number of visitors. So far as hours of admission are concerned the only change that suggests itself is to open the Museum on certain evenings of each week. The experience of other American museums and a study of the conditions here lead me to believe that at present the number of visitors would be too small to justify any experiment in this direction. As for the admission fee of twenty-five cents the case is not so clear. In practice it is found that often a person turns away on learning of this fee, and it is conceivable that the knowledge of its existence deters many from coming.

At the holiday season, December 26 to January 2, the REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 83

Museum was open free to the public for one week, with the result that for the days when fees are ordinarily charged twenty persons came this year for every one that paid admission on the corresponding day a year earlier. It is impossible to say how much of this increase in attendance is due to the advertisement of a special opportunity. While in my own opinion the difficulties in the way of giving up a charge for admission are great and the advantages of making admission free at all times are somewhat problematical, I desire to recommend to you the careful consideration of the subject. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR FAIRBANKS,

Director. :

Sir, — I have the honor to submit to you the thirtieth annual report of the Department of Classical Art.

ACQUISITIONS

15.856. Head of a Goddess. Of Parian marble, worked separately for insertion in a draped statue of colossal size. Height, 0.47 m. The goddess wears a small veil, or kerchief, laid in simple folds the head is turned and inclined slightly its left, ; to and the left shoulder was raised. A portion of the top of the head, which was made of a separate piece of marble, is missing the greater parts of the nose, lips, and chin are broken off, and the surface is marred in many places. The work is a Greek original of the fourth century from the hand of a sculptor who was strongly under the influence of Praxiteles. It is thus to be classed with the Bartlett head of Aphrodite and the Thayer head of a goddess from

Chios. It resembles the former in the sketchy, impressionistic working of the details of the hair, and the latter in the shape of the forehead, — which is unusually prominent in the centre above the root of the nose, — in the setting of the eyes, the very slight accent- uation of the lower lids, and the resulting gentleness of expression.

But the type is different : the majestic poise of the head and the fullness of the cheeks and chin give it a certain matronly character which is foreign to the Aphrodite heads ascribed to Praxiteles or his school. In the absence of any definite attribute the identifica- tion remains in doubt, though the theory that it represents Demeter seems the most probable.

The Director has begun the prep- aration of the catalogue of pottery, and the Curator has continued his work on the catalogue of sculpture. He has 98 CLASSICAL ART

also contributed to the American Journal of Archceology an article on two vases by Brygos in the collection and a publication of the chryselephantine statuette of the Cretan snake goddess. Reprints of the latter, including abundant illustrations, have been placed on sale at the catalogue desk.

Gallery Books. In addition to scientific catalogues of the

various collections there is need of a popular guide for the benefit of visitors to the galleries. To supply this need a series of gallery books, similar in form to those already prepared for the Department of Chinese and Japanese Art,

was planned early in the year. Fortunately it proved possible to secure the services of Mr. Ashton Sanborn to assist the Curator in preparing the text of these guides. The plan calls for twenty books, describing the objects

exhibited on the main floor. Fifteen of these books have been written and, with the cooperation of the Secretary’s

office, manifolded and placed in the galleries. That the

project has been so nearly carried out during the year is due to the energy and perseverance of Mr. Sanborn, who, as a former assistant in the Department, was well fitted for the work. The books are in the nature of an experiment, and

it is hoped that they may furnish a basis for a printed and

illustrated guide to the Classical collections. It is not expected that they will be used to a great extent by the casual visitor, but their usefulness to a small class of people desirous of obtaining a more thorough acquaintance with the treasures of classical art in the Museum has already been proved.

Installation. Numerous minor improvements in installa- tion have been suggested by the work on the gallery books and on the catalogue of vases. The Cretan chryselephantine statuette has been installed, with the other original objects of Minoan and Mycenaean origin, in a new case in the CLASSICAL ART 99

Archaic Room. A new wall-case for small bronzes has been placed in the same room, and the space thus gained has made it possible to enlarge and improve the exhibition of archaic vases in the room. A new case for terra-cottas has been placed in the Fifth

Century Room, making it possible to exhibit in their proper historical sequence some fine fifth century terra-cottas which had previously been scattered through three rooms where they did not belong. The Director has rearranged the cases of Cypriote and Minoan pottery, and in sorting the fragments from Mr. Seager’s excavations at Mochlos, has been able to put together many of them, considerably increasing the number of more or less complete vases.

Use of the Collections. No record has been kept of the visitors to the Department, but it is a pleasure to record that several archaeologists have availed themselves of the opportunity to use the office with its library. Miss M. H. Swindler of Bryn Mawr College, spent several weeks in the summer studying some problems in the attribution of Attic paintings Professor vase ; J. C. Hoppin has continued here his study of some of the Attic vase paintings of the severe style and Mrs. Agnes Baldwin Brett devoted some time to ; the examination of the collection of Greek coins. All of these scholars are planning to publish objects in the collection in books or articles on which they are engaged. It has always been the aim of the Department to encourage such use of the collections as much as possible this ; and should especially be done at the present time, when the great collections of Europe are less accessible. This is the best place in America for the advanced study of classical art, and it is perhaps not unreasonable to hope that in the future better facilities for such study may be provided by fitting up a room in the department containing the whole IOO CLASSICAL ART classical library, with an assistant in attendance regularly during Museum hours.

Lectures. In addition to the usual docent appointments the Curator gave three Thursday conferences, a lecture in the Metropolitan Museum on Greek dress, a talk on the Cretan snake goddess at a meeting of the Boston Society of the Archaeological Institute, a paper at the meeting of the Classical Association of New England, and twelve lectures on Greek History and Art to classes in the Department of Architecture of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He has also been permitted to hold, during the first half of

i i _i i 6 the position of Lecturer in History at the 9 5 9 , Institute. L. D. CASKEY, Curator. :

DEPARTMENT OF CHINESE AND JAPANESE ART To the Director

Sir, — I have the honor to submit the sixteenth annual report on the Department of Chinese and Japanese Art. The Department has recently sustained a real and deeply felt loss in the death of Francis Gardner Curtis, the senior member, in length of service, of the Department Staff. Even before his appointment as Associate Curator in 1906, and ever since that time, Mr. Curtis worked with unselfish devotion for the welfare of this Department, contributing more especially to the effective exhibition and sound eluci- dation of its collections. Some of the fruits of his talents, training, and labors may be seen in the construction of the

Japanese Court and of the Galleries surrounding it on the Main Floor, as well as in his various articles on Japanese and Chinese art published in the Museum Bulletin and

Handbook, — all achievements of permanent value to the Museum. But his colleagues will, perhaps, remember him with greater affection because of his kindliness, modesty, and efficiency as a daily collaborator than because of his more widely known attainments as a student of Oriental art.

ACQUISITIONS

During the past year it has been the Museum’s good for- tune to obtain by purchase, gift, and loan many Chinese and Japanese objects of the highest quality and significance. Among the purchases, those which seem to be particularly

deserving of special mention are : the heroic standing figure of Kuan Yin, undoubtedly one of the most important known 102 CHINESE AND JAPANESE ART

of examples Chinese stone sculpture ; the life-size pottery figure of a Lo-han the Ming dynasty painting of a Lo-han ; ; the picture of four scholars feasting under a flowering plum tree, painted by Ch'iu Ying a man in contemplation, by ; Wu Wei two landscapes, by Shen Chou a landscape, by ; ; Yao Yen-ch'ing; a river-landscape with figures, by Chu Tuan bamboo in the wind, by Chen the large Sung ; Wu ; painting of two carp leaping among waves and the winter ; landscape, attributed to Ma Yuan. Among the gifts, particular attention should be called to the fine K'ang Hsi

porcelain vase, given by Mr. Pickman ; to the series of Japanese W

I venture to express here the Department’s deep sense of gratitude for its share in the generosity of the friends of the Museum.

DEPARTMENT WORK

Between January 1 1 and February 3, complete exhibitions involving over one thousand five hundred objects were in- stalled in twenty galleries. Since then sixty-three paintings, two pieces of stone sculpture, and about sixty pieces of pottery and porcelain have been put on exhibition. Two special exhibitions, one of pottery and porcelain from the Lyman collection, the other of A^-drama costumes, masks etc., have been installed in the Forecourt Gallery. The routine work of the Staff has largely consisted in back registration and in the registration of the unusually large number of objects received during the year. In addi- tion, the pottery, lacquer and attic storages have been com- pletely and systematically rearranged sixty-three rolled ; paintings, eight screens, and two panels have been remounted or repaired, and a rack for swords has been made five hun- ; dred and forty-eight visitors, exclusive of Museum officials, have been received and, since April 1, seven hundred and twenty copyists have been recorded in the galleries ten ; in outside collections and about Boston have been visited ; twenty-six docent appointments have been kept ; an article for the Bulletin and a Gallery Book have been written, and

Professor Anesaki’s book, Buddhist Art in Its Relation to

Buddhist Ideals , has been put through the press. One IIO CHINESE AND JAPANESE ART hundred and forty-two Chinese and Japanese objects have been lent to the Peabody Academy of Science, Salem. From early in March until the middle of June, Mr. Naka- gawa was here doing valuable work in connection with Mr. Okakura’s critical catalogue of our Chinese and Japanese paintings. He was able also to provide the Department with transcripts in modern Chinese characters of the inscrip- tions on our stone sculptures and bronzes. Respectfully submitted,

J. E. LODGE, Assistant Curator in Charge. DEPARTMENT OF EGYPTIAN ART

To the Director :

I have the honor to submit to you the thirteenth annual report of the Department of Egyptian Art. During the winter of 1914-1915 the Harvard University- Museum of Fine Arts Expedition in Egypt under Dr. Reisner was excavating at Giza, Kerma, and Deir el-Bersheh. Dr. Reisner reports that the season was, “with the exception of the Mycerinus year, the most successful one we have had.” Approximately thirty-five cases of objects assigned to this Museum from the excavations of 1913-1914 and all the objects assigned us from the excavations of 1914-1915

are awaiting shipment to Boston ; but owing to the great risk of ocean transportation during the past year, none of them have as yet been shipped from Egypt.

LOANS

Two New Empire wooden statuettes, one of a priest and the other of a lady, were lent to the Museum by Mr. Joseph Lindon Smith in March and placed on exhibition in the New Empire Room. I I 2 EGYPTIAN ART DEPARTMENT WORK

On March first a special exhibition of Mr. Joseph Lindon Smith’s paintings of Egyptian subjects was opened to the public in the Primitive and Old Empire Rooms. In addition

to the pictures formerly on exhibition on the lower floor, five new canvases, the result of Mr. Smith’s work in Egypt during the past winter, as well as one given to the Museum by Mr. Smith in memory of Mrs. Samuel T. Morse, were shown. There have been a number of changes in the main exhibi- tions. The limestone heads of a Prince and his negress wife found at Giza, and the black granite seated statue of Sehetep-ib-wall from Kerma, have been placed on exhibition in the Mastaba Gallery the case containing the gazelle-skin ; ceremonial robe was moved from the Lobby to the New

Empire Room, and the Lobby is now used for the exhibition of jewelry and other small objects. Six sections of papyrus, — Extracts from the Book of the Dead, — given by the Estate of Dana Estes in 1910, have been put up in the Study Room. A number of objects from the collections have been lent to the Peabody Museum in Cambridge and to the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, and three traveling cases of objects have been arranged for study in the public schools of Boston. In connection with this last loan, Mrs. Scales has prepared a brief illustrated lecture on the art of Egypt for use in geography classes in the Boston schools. A large number of bronzes and pottery vessels and several limestone reliefs have been treated in an effort to stop their disintegration. Docent appointments have been met during the year by Mrs. Scales, Miss Graff, and the Associate in the Depart- ment, Mr. Dunham. Mr. Dunham has made a complete inventory of the EGYPTIAN ART ”3

Department and brought the card catalogue up to date. On October ninth he sailed for Egypt, where he will resume his work under Dr. Reisner. Respectfully submitted for the Department, H. L. STORY, Registrar. :

DEPARTMENT OF PAINTINGS

To the Director

The year 1915 will be memorable in the history of the

Department because on February 3 the Robert Dawson Evans Galleries for Paintings were opened, giving the

Department for the first time adequate galleries specially designed for its possessions and so attractive in themselves that they add incalculably to the enjoyment of the collections.

ACQUISITIONS PURCHASES

From the income of the Francis Bartlett Fund a Cassone front, with a battle scene painted by Paolo Uccello, and a

collection of drawings by old masters have been purchased ; a panel representing the Marriage of St. Catherine, attrib- uted to Lippo Memmi, has been purchased from the Sarah Wyman Whitman Fund. The two paintings add greatly to the distinction of the Museum Collection of Italian primi- tives. The Paolo Uccello was reproduced and described in the Museum’s Bulletin for August, 1915. The panel by Lippo Memmi is fifty-three inches high by forty wide. The impressive figures of Christ and St. Catherine stand at right and left, on a narrow red platform which separates the main picture from three smaller scenes, forming a sort of predella. On the edge of the red platform is written “ Arico di Neri Arighetti fece fare questa tavola.” St. Catherine extends her right hand toward the Christ, who clasped to her breast places the ring on her fourth finger ; by her left hand, she holds a book, bound in black, and a palm branch. Her white tunic, covered with an elaborate PAINTINGS "5

design meticulously engraved in gold, hangs in simple folds ; over it she wears a crimson mantle lined with white. This mantle passes under her right arm and is gathered up in her left hand, so that it forms a very graceful drapery. Her golden hair is crowned with a jeweled diadem and her name is engraved at the sides of her halo. The Christ wears a black mantle over a crimson tunic and with His left hand holds a scarlet-covered book; His halo is divided by the cross. Between these two majestic figures there is a little group painted on a much smaller scale : on a settle, deco- rated with geometric patterns in intarsia, the Christ-child stands between the seated Virgin and St. Anne. He is dressed in a rich gold brocade and looks toward St. Anne, who offers Him a rose a little bird is perched on His ; outstretched right hand. The predella is divided into three

sections : at the left St. Margaret and the Devil ; at the

right, St. Michael and the dragon ; in the centre, two young noblemen who have thrown down their arms, embrace each other under the influence of an angel, who stands behind them with wings outspread and one hand resting on the back of each young man.

GIFTS

To Mrs. W. Scott Fitz the Department is again indebted for an important gift: three early Italian paintings, — Madonna and Child by Barnaba da Modena, Magdalen by Segna di Buonaventura, Saint Gregory the Great by a follower of Simone Martini. The portrait of John Howard Payne, the author of

“ Home, Sweet Home,” in the character of Hamlet, is per-

haps the most popularly interesting gift of the year ; this was presented by Mr. George R. White, to whom the Museum is also indebted for a very attractive picture by William Morris Hunt, called The Gleaner another ; — ix6 PAINTINGS painting by Hunt, a Landscape, was given by Mrs. E. C. Cushman.

By the installation of the metal screens another large basement room was made available for the storage of pic- tures; in the three rooms thus equipped are now hung, so that they can easily be seen, all the pictures not on exhibi- tion except those of decidedly less importance, which are assigned to the reference or study series. This series is kept in racks in a fourth room of the basement. The Keeper of Paintings has kept five docent appoint- ments, and has as usual examined numerous pictures both at the Museum and at private houses. JOHN BRIGGS POTTER, Keeper of Paintings. :

DEPARTMENT OF WESTERN ART: TEXTILES

To the Director of the Museum :

I have the honor to submit the following report on the Collection of Textiles for the past year ACQUISITIONS

The accessions numbered six hundred and thirteen three ; were purchases, five hundred and seventy-seven gifts, and thirty-three in part purchases and in part gifts.

PURCHASES AND GIFTS The most important among the acquisitions are three

French tapestries : the earliest piece, a verdure of the type called “ fleurette ” or “ mille fleur,” a dark blue ground cov- ered with flowering plants, dates from the latter part of the fifteenth century and was purchased from the Katherine Colla-

more Pierce Fund ; it is a very beautiful example of this rare and charming type of tapestry. The second, representing a man, a woman and children in a flowering wood, is also

French, but dates from about it was purchased from 1 500 ; the Francis Skinner Fund. The third, an allegorical tapestry of music, purchased from the Sarah Elizabeth Simpson P'und, was made in France in the early part of the sixteenth century. All these are most desirable pieces, and the

Museum is fortunate to acquire them. The thirty-three Japanese costumes for the classic drama (No-dance), which were in part a gift from Dr. William Sturgis Bigelow and in part a purchase, are beautiful exam- ples of Japanese textiles and are a great addition to that 1 28 WESTERN ART: EXCEPT TEXTILES DEPARTMENTAL WORK

The Loan Exhibition of Glass and Jewelry closed February 14 with a total attendance of five thousand four hundred and ninety-eight. From May 10 to October 27 a special exhibi- tion of Oriental Arms and Armor from the Macomber Col- lection was held in the Forecourt Room. Seventeen thou-

sand six hundred and thirty-eight people attended it. Beginning early in July part of Miss A. Josephine Clark’s collection of English printed ware cup plates was placed for six months on exhibition in the Corridor near the Study Room. What was probably the largest collection of American and European pewter ever shown at one time was the loan exhibi-

tion which opened in the Forecourt Room on November 8,

and lasted until January 15, 1917. About seventy lenders contributed over five hundred pieces of American and European make, dating from the seventeenth to the early

nineteenth century. A list of American pewterers was pre- pared and placed on sale. During the year Gallery Books for the Lawrence and Bremgarten Rooms and the William Arnold Buffum Collec- tion of Amber were prepared by the Assistant and put in use. Mrs. Richard Norton has been a volunteer assistant in

the department since October first. Nine hundred and twenty-eight students worked from objects in the galleries and Study Room — from pottery, jewelry, illuminations, Persian miniatures, furniture, etc. Five hundred and seven people visited the Study Room asking for information. Mr. Eugene De Forest of New Haven, gave two talks on pewter in connection with the loan exhibition on December

16 and 17. The Assistant in Charge lectured before the Fall River Women’s Club in November on European Pottery and Porcelain and in December she spoke on Persian Pot- ; tery at the Rhode Island School of Design. Mrs. Norton WESTERN ART: EXCEPT TEXTILES 1 29

talked twice on the Pewter Exhibition and guided visitors through the galleries during Christmas week. Five specimens of pottery and porcelain were lent to the Pennsylvania Museum, Philadelphia, for an Exhibition of Fakes and Reproductions. The monthly sending out of

church silver numbered forty lots, and the Assistant helped to arrange four exhibits at the Society of Arts and Crafts in October. FLORENCE V. PAULL, Assistant in Charge. —

130 WESTERN ART: TEXTILES and the high side lighting make this a very fitting place for the exhibition of tapestries. The only special exhibition of textiles has been that of the A^-dance costumes, which were shown in the Forecourt

Room from November 26 to December 13. Two thousand one hundred and fifty-two people have visited the Textile Study Room either to study from the collection or in search of information about their own possessions, and eight hundred and forty-four have worked from the textiles in the galleries. Twenty-five docent appointments have been met — twenty- four of them by the assistant in charge of the collection. and she has given one lecture in the building, one at the Rhode Island School of Design, and one to the Peterborough Society of Arts and Crafts. Duplicate textiles have been lent to one Art Museum, to two art schools, to one technical school, to three high schools, one private school, and to the

National Silk Manufacturers Convention at Paterson, N. J. SARAH G. FLINT, Assistant in Charge of Textiles. :

In March the objects in storage were moved from the basement of the Classical Wing to two rooms under the Western Art Study and Workroom. Work was then begun on a complete inventory of all objects in the Department and a revision of the catalogue. After many interruptions this was completed on August 30. The Goloubew Collection was exhibited in the Forecourt Room from February to the middle of April, after which this and the Ross Collection of Persian and Indian paintings were placed in the Nearer Orient Room. P'our conferences 140 WESTERN ART: EXCEPT TEXTILES

on the Art of the Nearer East were given by the Assistant

in Charge in February and March, and Mr. Wetzel gave five talks on the paintings to classes of ladies. Four Special Exhibitions have been arranged in the Department during the last year. From May 10 to 24 about fifty pieces of pottery made by the adult class of the North Bennet Street Industrial School were shown in the Study Room; from May 19 to September 28, in the Picture Reserve Exhibition Rooms, Mr. Dwight M.

Lyman’s pottery; from December 17 to February 10, 1916, a loan collection of eighteenth and early nineteenth century glass and jewelry. A meeting of the Western Art Visiting Committee was held on December 1 5 and the special exhibition was inspected. Miss Kendall, of the Newark Museums Association, spent some time in June studying Museum methods with the

Assistant in Charge and on October 1 1 Miss Marion Evans ; Doane began a course of reading and study of the subjects included in Western Art. Mr. Wetzel is working on the translation of the Oriental texts in the collection.

Twelve docent appointments were filled and a total of two hundred and twenty-four people were guided over the Museum. Two Sunday talks were given — one at the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, on pottery and porce- lain and one at the Museum, on glass. Church Com- ; munion silver was sent out thirty-seven times during the year. Sixty-two outside calls were made three hundred ; and ninety-eight people seeking information were met in the office and twelve hundred and sixty-eight students ; worked from the objects in the collection.

From Mrs. W. P. P. Longfellow, five volumes of architectural books. Photographs have been given by Mrs. Hockling, Miss Mary B. Lewis, Mrs. W. P. P. Longfellow, Mrs. Louis Prang, Miss H. S. Tolman, Miss Adelaide Wadsworth, Mrs. Andrew C. Wheelwright, and Mr. Charles T. Carruth.

Notable purchases have been : Complete sets of the A rchceologische Zeitung and the Connoisseur the published

volumes of Die Altertiimer von Pergamon ; Bottiger, Svenska Staten Samling af Vafda Tapeter; Richardson, Monumental classical architecture in Great Britain and Ireland ; and thirty volumes of Chinese inscriptions on stone and bronze.

Four thousand five hundred and fifty readers have used books in the Reading Room the attendance in the Photo- ; graph Room has been 3,239, an increase of nearly 50 per cent, over last year. Photographs to the number of 13,075 have been used outside the room: by 374 individuals or classes in the building and 402 times outside the Museum. During the year four talks have been given to the Wellesley and Simmons training classes, one to each by the Librarian and Miss Turner, with a total attendance of 120. The Librarian has been appointed a member of the Com- mittee on Historical Material of the New England History

Teachers’ Association, whose collection is now housed in the Library stacks, and has attended the meetings of the Com- mittee. Special card bibliographies have been prepared on architecture, on metal work (for the Metal Workers’ Guild of Boston), and on textiles, as well as a list of the most important references in English to the artists represented in the Museum’s collection of paintings.

As nearly all the Library’s purchases are importations, the present trade conditions have caused much delay in obtaining books and periodicals, and it has been found impossible to get much-needed photographs of French architecture. THE LIBRARIAN *43

The most notable addition to the Photograph Collection has been 400 photographs of Indian architecture at Bodh- Gaya, Ajanta, Khanjuraho, etc. The Museum’s collection of the publications of the Arundel and Medici Societies has been transferred from the Print Department to the Photo- graph Room. The Medici color-prints are useful in connec- tion with the photographs and the Library should have a more nearly complete set. The collection of pictures from magazines is growing at a remarkable rate, and one person is fully occupied in prepar- ing and filing the material and attending to the increasing demands of users. During the year 3,594 mounts with 4,891 pictures have been added, making a total of 10,165 mounts and about 14,000 pictures. Students have borrowed 1,260 of these, besides the constant use in the room. This year the History of Art series of photographs, known as the Tolman Collection, has been brought more directly to the attention of visitors by a sign placed over the door of its small room opening from the general Photograph Room. This has led to a decided increase of interest in the collec- tion, and teachers and students are making constant use of the admirably classified photographs of all the various schools of European art. Miss Whitney resigned her position as cataloguer in the Library June I, and her place was taken September 15 by Miss Alice Van Tuyll. The Library has received valuable aid on the Photograph Collection during the past year from the following volunteer workers : Miss Edith Bancroft, Miss Helen Clark, Miss Marian E. Doane, Miss Catherine McCollester, and Mrs. D. F. Dow. Respectfully submitted, FOSTER STEARNS, Librarian. 144 THE LIBRARIAN

To the Director of the Museum :

I have the honor to submit the following report for the past year on branches of work committed to my charge.

PUBLICATIONS

The Annual Report was issued March 24. The Bulletin and Print Collector s Quarterly appeared as usual. A special number of the Bulletin, devoted to a description of the Robert Dawson Evans Galleries for Paintings, was issued

on the day of the opening, February 3. The Bulletin com-

pleted its thirteenth volume, which will be provided with a

general index to all the volumes. The eleventh edition of the Handbook, with some additions and changes, was issued in January. The Leaflet Guide to the Museum was reissued December

6, in vest-pocket size, as a general clue to the Museum ex-

hibits. It is distributed with all tickets, and sold otherwise

for one cent. On the first page it gives a sketch plan show- ing the arrangement of the departments in the building and

gives directions for reaching all of them from the entrances, the Rotunda and the Hemicycle. On the succeeding pages

it names the galleries in each department in their recog- nized order, and, when space permits, mentions some of the contents. In order to adapt the Guide in type and content

to rapid reading, detailed mention of the exhibits is left to the Handbook, the Gallery Books and the labels. Such an

outline guide is needed in a large museum by any visitor coming with a previous idea of what he wants to see, whether

this is the museum generally, as with most travelers, or THE SECRETARY OF THE MUSEUM iSi particular exhibits, as with most habitues of the Museum. It is superfluous at once to those who come to look only at what they may chance to find and to those who know beforehand what they wish to see and where it is. The demand for the Guide will indicate the proportion of Museum visitors belonging to the class first named. The Guide is issued in editions of a thousand, and to keep abreast of important changes of exhibition before the appearance of a new edition, inserts noting them will be manifolded and placed in all copies sold. If this method prove practicable, an ideal will be reached seldom if ever before realized in any public museum. The visitor will be offered at the entrance an outline account of everything shown on the day of the visit. Small plans of the Museum, including the Robert Dawson Evans Galleries for Paintings, were placed in doorways throughout the building during the autumn. They name all the public rooms and are colored to represent the limits of the departments. A star affixed to each plan indicates the doorway in which it is placed. The plans replace the way- marks which the extension and rearrangement of the building had rendered obsolete excepting in the Classical Galleries. Two publications related to the collections were issued for the Museum at the beginning of December by Houghton

Mifflin Company. The lectures on “ Buddhist Art in its Relation to Buddhist Doctrine,” delivered by Professor M. Anesaki at the Museum, have been published in a form corresponding to that of the Catalogue of Japanese Pottery by Professor Morse, issued in 1901. Through the liberality of a friend of the Museum the lectures have been abun- dantly illustrated, about three-quarters of the illustrations being reproductions of objects in the Museum collections. The second volume, “ Greek Gods and Heroes,” prepared by the Director at the instance and with the cooperation of a Committee of Teachers from the public schools, is also ! 5 2 THE SECRETARY OF THE MUSEUM fully illustrated by reproductions of objects in the collections of Classical Art. GALLERY BOOKS

The system of Gallery Books was formally placed in charge of the Secretary by vote of the Committee on the

Museum July I 5. The books have hitherto been typewritten and manifolded in the form of four or five carbon copies. In order to save the labor of their preparation in numbers and to make them more legible, an Edison mimeograph was purchased, permitting of making neat and legible copies of each page from a single typewritten stencil in editions running into the hundreds. Lending copies of the Renaissance Court Gallery Book were installed in the Court on May 14, 1915, and in conse- quence of repeated requests to purchase it, the book was placed on sale at the entrance in September, at twenty-five cents a copy. During the summer a nearly complete set of fifteen books was written for the main galleries of Classical Art by Mr. C. Ashton Sanborn in cooperation with Dr. Caskey, and these also have been placed on sale at the same price. A notice to this effect in the October Bulletin brought an immediate inquiry from the Louvre for other books of the kind, and another from the Gemeente Museum at The Hague for a specimen Gallery Book for possible use as a model for similar aids to the visitor at that museum. Copies of the August Bulletin, containing Mr. Lodge’s article descriptive of the contents of the new gallery of Chinese Sculpture, were placed in the room as Gallery Books in November. An account of the classical No drama was also written by Mr. Lodge, for use as a Gallery Book during the exhibi- tion in December of costumes of the No dances in the Forecourt Room. :

THE SECRETARY OF THE MUSEUM *53

It has been the custom of the Museum to place lending copies of various issues of the Bulletin in the galleries where objects discussed in these issues were placed. These lending Bulletins are allied in their purpose to Gallery Books, and the charge of them has been informally assigned to the Secretary.

REGISTRY OF LOCAL ART

During the year the Registry compiled for the Art Com-

mission the fifth list of works of art owned by the City of

Boston, completing the inventory to date. The list is a miscellaneous one, containing buildings, statues, fountains,

tablets, paintings and other objects. The previous lists were the following

9 1 Public Monuments Oil Paintings and Water 1 1, ; 1912, Colors; 1913, Busts and Bas-Reliefs; 1914, Memorial Tablets and Inscriptions. Such an inventory may be said never to be complete, for at any moment there are always projects for the further artistic adornment of public places. The monument to

Robert Burns is shortly to take its place in the Public

Garden, and others are proposed. There is ample room in Boston for these enterprises. The artistic output reported

in the five lists taken together is not yet commensurate with the standing of the city. The Public Library and the Parkman Fund have their counterparts in cities younger than Boston, and should be but a beginning of a continued

tribute from all classes of the community to the abiding

value of the life of the imagination. At the request of the Art Commission of the State, the Registry has been empowered by the Governor and Council to examine works of art owned by the State for the purpose

of a descriptive list. A preliminary inquiry brought to light a number of pictures, statues, and other objects throughout *54 THE SECRETARY OF THE MUSEUM the State, and a report upon them was presented to the Commission and a copy deposited with the Council. A complete descriptive list, like those furnished to the Municipal Art Commission, would involve traveling expenses and the customary remuneration to the Registry. Representatives of two Massachusetts organizations visited the Secretary’s Office during December to examine the records and learn the methods of the Registry. The Milton Public Library has been planning to begin an inventory of the works of art accessible to the public in Milton ; and the Art Department of the Massachusetts Federation of Women’s Clubs has been considering a similar undertaking by the clubs throughout the State. The Registry would cordially welcome this aid in its work, and would gratefully receive, preserve and index copies of any data obtained. The Registry desires to express its appreciative thanks for the following gifts received since the last Report and filed and indexed with the material previously gathered : Set of measured drawings representing an architectural survey of the Old South Meeting House. Deposited July i by the Old South Association. Set of measured drawings of St. Paul’s Cathedral, con- tributed by Messrs. Cram and Ferguson. Gift to the Registry by the Boston Society of Architects, October 28. Measured drawings of Park Street Church before the alterations of 1914. Contributed by Messrs. Putnam and Cox. Gift to the Registry by the Boston Society of Architects, October 28. Memorial volume issued on the occasion of the dedication of the tablets in Winthrop Square, Charlestown, June 17, 1889. Octavo, 274 pages with plates. From Miss Harriett Dickinson. BENJAMIN IVES GILMAN, Secretary of the Museum. THE SUPERVISOR OF EDUCATIONAL WORK

To the Director of the Museum :

Sir, — I have the honor of presenting the following report concerning the educational activities of the past year. FREE TICKETS TO INSTRUCTORS, STUDENTS, ARTISTS, AND OTHERS

DOCENT SERVICE

On week days during the year there were 303 meetings 27 Docents (including two volunteer Docents working in the department and a member of the Visiting Committee) met 4,213 persons; in 1914, 3,385 persons were met. On each Sunday from October to June two announced speakers meet visitors in the galleries or the lecture hall. As a rule these speakers are not members of the Staff, but persons who give their services, and the obligation under which they have placed the Museum is gratefully acknowl- edged. Sixty-nine such talks were given, 33 Docents addressing audiences ranging from 20 to 125 persons. The total attendance was 3,306. Through the kindness of the Sub-Committee of the Com- mittee on Education of the Woman’s Education Association a series of four lectures on “Japan, Its People and Customs” (mentioned on another page) was given by Mr. Tomita. The same Sub-Committee arranged a series of three “Class Gift ” days, when objects suitable for gifts to the schools by students of the graduating classes were shown in the Trus- tees’ Room. These objects were lent by various stores in Boston were selected and hung by Mr. Elliott and the ; ; 1 1

158 THE SUPERVISOR OF EDUCATIONAL WORK exhibition was visited by a large number of teachers and students. Another contribution by this Sub-Committee was the gift of three cases to contain a traveling exhibition. These have been filled with objects illustrating the art of Egypt, and will be sent on tour through the schools. A short illustrated talk to accompany them has been prepared by Mrs. Scales.

In addition to the lists which have been prepared for use in the schools on Classical History and English History, lists have been prepared for the nine geographies used in the schools of Boston.

CLASSES HELD IN THE MUSEUM

The class rooms and certain galleries of the Museum are used by many classes throughout the year, the policy of the Museum permitting free use of its collections by accredited teachers. The Museum School lectures and some of its classes are held in the Museum, while many other schools and teachers avail themselves of this privilege. There were approximately 490 sessions of such classes, not including the classes in drawing.

To the Trustees :

Your Committee herewith presents its annual report for the year 1915, together with the report made by the Secre- tary to the Council for the year 1914-1915. During the year 1915 no changes occurred in the Council, and only one change in the Faculty. Miss Alice J. Morse was appointed instructor in the Department of Design in place of Miss Maclnness, resigned, beginning her work in October. In the absence of Mr. Richter from the Museum, Mr. Dwight C. Sturges very kindly consented to give ten lessons in etching at the Museum for students from the School. At the present time most of the students in the regular morning classes in drawing and painting occupy their afternoons either with the classes in anatomy and perspective, or with extra work in drawing or etching, modeling, and painting. The number of students in attendance in both departments is nine more than at the corresponding time last year. Owing to conditions in Europe, no traveling scholarships have been assigned. At your meeting in October Mrs. Evans’ generous gift of $50,000 was accepted and the “Mrs. David Hunt Memorial Fund for Instruction in Sculpture ” was established. The interest in the Department of Modeling has been greatly stimulated by this gift and by the scholarships to be assigned from the income of the fund. The two classes have in- creased in size until a second room has proved necessary to accommodate them. SCHOOL OF THE MUSEUM 169

Careful study of the expenses of the School seems to indicate that these expenses cannot reasonably be decreased, and that the proper development of the School may presently demand an increased expenditure. It is estimated that for the year 1915-1916 the expenses will exceed the income from tuition by about $3,000, or approximately the same amount as last year. Plans for increasing the income of the School to meet this deficit and to permit such further expenditures as may prove necessary are receiving the careful consideration of the Council. ARTHUR FAIRBANKS, For the Committee of the Trustees on the School of the Museum. SECRETARY’S REPORT

(September, 1914-JuNE, 1915) To the Chairman of the Council of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts.

Sir, — I have the honor of presenting the following report for the School year 1914- 1915 : One new member was added to the Council— Mrs. Calvin Gates (Marie Danforth) Page There were 238 students in the School, an advance on last year’s numbers. Ninety-nine of these were newcomers. The Depart- ments of Drawing and Painting and Modeling had 157 pupils; the Department of Design, 81. The Cummings Traveling Scholarship was awarded to Mr. Maurice E. Day. The Scholarship of a year’s apprenticeship with Mr. Gebelein, silversmith, offered by the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union, was held for part of the time by Miss Elizabeth Lee for the remainder of the year, by Miss Katharine Pratt. ;

Other scholarships were as follows : Helen Hamblen, held by

Miss Katherine A. Schweinfurth ; Ellen K. Gardner, held by Miss Elizabeth M. Walsh and Miss Edith L. Widing Hartford, ; held by

Miss Marian C. Maercklein ; Norwich, held by Miss Katherine L. Mallett. ;

170 SCHOOL OF THE MUSEUM

Drawings and paintings by the pupils of the School have been lent, by request, to schools of art in Chicago and Hartford, to the State University of Iowa, and to an exhibition in Concord. A class in Etching and Wood-block cutting was held in the Department of Prints, Mr. Emil H. Richter kindly giving his services on one afternoon each week. This class was well attended and the results most encouraging. Prizes in various public exhibitions were won by the following past and present pupils of the School : Miss May Aiken, Miss Alice W. Ball, Mr. Charles H. Davis, Miss Mabel Norman, Miss Donna N. Schuster, Miss Elizabeth M. Walsh and Miss Winifred Warren.

Miss Margaret Allen and Miss Helen S. White won a competition for the designing of scenery and costumes for a pantomime given at the New England Conservatory of Music and Miss Blanche K. ; Brink, Miss Lucy Conant and Miss Christina Raymond were the prize winners in a rug competition held by the Walter M. Hatch Co. A Retrospective Exhibition of the work of the School was held in the Museum in connection with the opening of the Evans Wing. The courses of lectures given by Mr. Hale, Mr. Clark, and Mr. Elliott for the students in the School were attended by 57 persons not registered in the School.

A clipping file of pictures and prints from current magazines has been started with the assistance of the Library of the Museum more than ten thousand reproductions have been selected, mounted, and filed, and its usefulness as an adjunct to the collection of pho- tographs in the Library has been clearly proven.

A new phase of the School’s work is the Vocational Drawing Class for High School pupils. Twenty-one young people entered and worked for two hours each afternoon under the instruction of

Messrs. Clark, Elliott, and McLellan. The results have been most encouraging, and a fund to carry on the work next year having been given by a friend of the Museum, twenty-five new pupils have been selected in competition for the winter of 1915-16. Respectfully submitted, HUGER ELLIOTT, Secretary of the Council. :

Building and Grounds SUPERINTENDENT William Wallace MacLean REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Trustees of the Museum of Fine Arts: I have the honor to submit my report for the year 1916: ADMISSIONS

The following is a comparative statement of admis- sions for the years 1914, 1915, and 1916:

Paid Free Total 1914 19,659 185,450 205,109 1915 19,982 247,229 267,211 1916 21,019 244,390 265,409

The large increase in admissions in 1915 was due to the opening of the Evans Memorial Building with the consequent increase in the number of works of art exhibited. This exceedingly generous gift of Mrs. Evans created great interest and enthusiasm at the time, and it might well have been expected that the attendance would fall off materially when the novelty waned. It is a matter of congratulation that the attendance in 1916 so nearly equalled that in 1915, indicating that the interest in the Museum is not intermittent but continuous.

ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS

The following is a comparative statement of the number of annual subscribers and the amount of annual subscriptions for the years 1914, 1915, and 1916:

Number of Annual Amount of Annual Subscribers Subscriptions 1914 1,710 #38,584.00 1915 1,805 39>7 58.0° 1916 1,796 41,267.00 i2 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

It is gratifying to see that the annual subscriptions for 1916 not only held their own, but increased slightly in comparison with those for 1915, when the deep and widespread interest in the new building must have proved a strong and exceptional incentive.

It is especially gratifying also to feel the continuance of consistent support at a time when the appeals for human suffering are necessarily so many and so deserving.

CURRENT INCOME AND EXPENSES

The following is a comparative statement of income and expenses for the years 1915 and 1916: —

1915 1916 Increase or Decrease Unrestricted Income from

Trust Investments $67,488.97 $83,065.29 1. $15,576.32 Annual Subscriptions 39,758.00 41,267.00 1. 1,509.00

Admissions to Museum 5,101.50 5 GS 4-75 i- 153-25 Miscellaneous 370.60 778.46 1. 407.86

Total Income $112,719.07 $i3°>365-50 1. $17,646.43 Expenses 162,480.91 165,580.28 I- 3-°99-37

Deficit $49,761.84 $35,214.78 D. $14,547.06 Less Special Gifts to be Applied to Expenses 15,482.50 21,452.92 I. 5,970.42

Net Deficit $34. 279-34 $13,761.86 D. $20,517.48

For the year 1915 there was a large increase in both the deficit and the net deficit, due chiefly to the addi- tion of the running expenses of the new building. For the year 1916 both deficits are substantially less. It

is particularly satisfactory to feel that this improved situation and — let us hope — tendency is due not to any curtailment of service, but chiefly to the increase in income from moneys available in the last year or REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT two. The deficit of this year has been made up neces- sarily out of principal of unrestricted funds as the deficits of other years have been.

A deficit of this size is greatly to be regretted. Yet it is little likely to be very much less for 1917; for while the income applicable to running expenses will increase materially year after year, the expenses for 1917 will increase substantially through additions to the pay roll to make up in some measure the current increase in the cost of living — additions which pre- sumably will meet the approval of the supporters of the Museum, and indeed can be justified by the better satisfied service obtained. It need not be pointed out that this increase in expenses accentuates the need of yet larger annual subscriptions.

ACQUISITIONS

A list of all works of art acquired during 1916, through legacies, gifts and purchases, may be found in the accompanying reports of the Director and those in immediate charge of the departments. In these re- ports detailed descriptions are given of many impor- tant objects acquired during the year. Among these objects may be mentioned the following: A collection of forty paintings given by Mrs. Martha B. Angell to be known as the “ Henry C. and Martha B. Angell Col- lection.” This is an exceedingly important gift. In addition to nine paintings by Corot and five by

Daubigny, it includes paintings by Reynolds, Diaz, Millet, Boudin, Isabey, Pissaro, Troyon, Mauve and other well-known artists. The gift has not yet been received at the Museum, and hence is not described 1 4 REPORT OF TPIE PRESIDENT in the department reports for the year. A collection of about five hundred musical instruments has been given by Mr. William Lindsey in memory of his daughter, Mrs. Leslie Lindsey Mason. This is a celebrated English collection and has frequently formed the nucleus of recent exhibitions abroad. It is of great interest, of course, historically and music- ally. Yet it is more than this, for it belongs to that large class of objects which the Museum gladly ex- hibits — Colonial furniture and silver, for instance — where art manifests itself rather as an incident to use than as an ultimate end. The Museum very deeply appreciates Mr. Lindsey’s willingness to entrust this memorial to its care. It should be added that this gift also has not yet been received, and hence is not described in the department reports. A large and very beautiful landscape by Corot has been given by Mr. Augustus Hemenway, “ In memory of Louis and Amy Hemenway Cabot.” In the beginning of the year two interesting early Italian paintings were pre- sented by Mrs. W. Scott Fitz and later a very lovely ; and spiritual painting of the Crucifixion by Lippo Memmi was given by the same kind and constant friend. The painting entitled “ The Torn Hat,” by Sully, long happily familiar in our galleries as a loan, has now been given by its owners, Miss Belle Greene and Mr. Henry Copley Greene, in memory of their mother, Mrs. J. S. Copley Greene. Objects of great interest have been acquired through the excavations in Egypt under Dr. Reisner, excavations rendered possible by the generosity of members of the Visiting Committee to the Egyptian Department and one or REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT i5 two other friends. These objects, as those of the previous year, still remain in Egypt, owing to the dangers of transportation. Many important paintings and other objects have been acquired in the far East through the generosity of certain members of the Visiting Committee on Chinese and Japanese Art, and of one or two others interested in that department. Many prints of very high quality have been obtained through the generosity of members of the Visiting Committee to the Print Department and of other print lovers, supplemented by appropriations by the Museum. A distinguished marble head of heroic size, presumably copied from a Greek fifth century head by a sculptor of the Graeco-Roman period, was procured through moneys provided jointly by Mrs. W. Scott Fitz and the Museum. During this year the Museum itself has bought but few important objects of art. Among the purchases of the year are the following: A painting by Zuloaga, entitled “ My Uncle Daniel and His Family,” and exhibited recently in Boston with other works by this great Spanish painter; a marble portrait head of Marciana, a sister of the Emperor Trajan a statuette ; by Bela L. Pratt; and paintings by Hawthorne, Paxton, Mrs. Adelaide Cole Chase, and other contemporary and local artists.

BEQUESTS AND GIFTS OF MONEY

A list of moneys actually received during 1916 through legacies, gifts, and annual subscriptions may be found in the report of the Treasurer on subsequent pages. The legacies amount to the gifts $267,788.88 ; 1 6 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT of money, practically for purchase of works of art, to

$74,325.32 ; and the annual subscriptions towards the payment of running expenses to $41,267.00,— a total of $383-381-20. It is easy to recognize the importance to the public of the gifts of money and works of art that year after year are made to the Museum — especially to a Museum that receives no money from state or city and that must expend the greater part of its income in meeting running expenses; yet it is difficult for those who are not directly connected with the Museum to appreciate the personal inspiration which that generosity and confidence impart to those responsible for its welfare. TRUSTEES

At a meeting of the Trustees, held on April 20, 1916, the resignation of Mr. Henry Sargent Hunne- well was presented and accepted, and the following vote was passed: “In accepting the resignation of Mr. Henry Sargent Plunnewell, the Trustees desire to place upon the records their sincere regret at the severance of the relationship and their great appreciation of the services of- Mr. Hunnewell to the Museum, especially as a member and chairman of the two committees that had charge of the erection of the present building.”

At a special meeting of the Trustees held on July 20, 1916, Mr. Holker Abbott was elected a Trustee to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Hunnewell. Mr. Desmond FitzGerald has been appointed a Trustee of the Museum for the coming year by the

Massachusetts Institute of Technology. On July 1, REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT 17

1916, Dr. Payson Smith was appointed Commissioner of Education and thus became a Trustee of the Museum. EDUCATION

The Museum has continued to develop the inter- pretation of its collections by various talks and pub- lications and instruction in the fine arts generally, by ; its many lectures, its School, its Library, and the pub- lications of its Staff. Interesting and comprehensive accounts of these very important activities may be found in the accompanying reports of the Director and of those in immediate charge of the educational work of the Museum. While the development this year has generally followed normal and well-estab- lished lines, it has now and then included something entirely unusual. For instance, the class in Interior Decoration of the school was given the opportunity to decorate a large panel in one of the exhibition halls of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society and sub- mitted a formal garden design. The decoration was accepted and now hangs in the building of the Society. THE PUBLIC AND THE EXHIBITIONS OF A MUSEUM

In the report for 1915 I said that a museum should exhibit its works of art “ in such a way and in such an environment as to enable the beholder not merely to see them more perfectly, but — and this is a very dif- ferent thing — to enjoy them more deeply.” I wish to say a few words upon this subject. i8 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

Museums of Fine Art have Mven a 2Teat deal of time and thought to the exhibition of works of art in such a way that they can be best seen but they have ; apparently given little time and thought to the exhibi- tion of them in such a way that they can be most enjoyed. They have failed to recognize in any marked degree that the imprint of a work of art depends not only on the object itself, but on what may be called the receptivity of the beholder, that is, on his physical, mental, and emotional condition. They have failed indeed to adjust themselves to the fact that a form of exhibition which presently renders a visitor tired in mind and body will bore him, while a form which retains to the full his vitality may make him reluctant to leave and eager to return.* The difference between exhibiting an object in such a way that it can be best seen, and exhibiting it in such a way that it can be most enjoyed, may well be a radical difference in theory yet it calls for an ; amplification rather than a revolutionary change in arrangement. It calls not only for good light, but for an arrangement that shall give the greatest spiritual joy in the object shown, so that it may not only be seen by the eyes, but be felt by the heart. It amounts indeed to an intensive development of enjoyment in works of art already owned and if it attains in any ; substantial degree what it attempts it will certainly far more than justify its cost.

“ in In an interesting article entitled Museum Fatigue,’* published the Scientific Monthly , January, 1916, your Secretary, Mr. B. I. Gilman, considers the exhibition cases ordinarily used of the many weary ng attitudes necessary to see properly the in museums ; gives photographs objects exhibited, particularly those on the lower shelves, and suggests better forms of cases. Yet even with the cases ordinarily used the fatigue might be greatly lessened and the enjoyment greatly increased by the use of light chairs at the important cases, to be slipped beneath them if possible when not in use. ;

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT T 9

In considering this matter it should be borne in mind that every museum has the limitations of a public institution. It must exhibit many forms of art to develop and gratify the taste of a great many people. It must make its exhibitions stately, digni- fied — perhaps, as a rule, austere. It cannot give to nearly the extent that a private owner can the enjoy- ment that comes from intimate personal relation- ship — an open fire on the hearth, an easy chair, a window giving side light. Yet even so, if a museum recognizes the value of that personal relation, it may easily create places occasionally which would give greater enjoyment in themselves and through their restfulness and variety give greater enjoyment in the other parts of the exhibition.

It is not appropriate in a report of this nature to go into the details of such an exhibition — one which calls not only for a knowledge of art, but above all for an understanding of human nature. Yet it may be worth while to speak of one or two instances in order to elucidate the principle involved.

i. The typical museum exhibits its works of art, whether on the walls or in the cases, for the man who stands, and it places its settees and chairs rather to give temporary rest from the weariness of sightseeing than to give the opportunity of close relationship with the object. Now men do not read poetry stand- ing up; they do not listen to music standing up.

Why? Because they enjoy them more if they are seated, and thus are saved fatigue. Usually, of course, they must stand up and move about to see works of art but wherever they can sit down and thus get 20 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

greater enjoyment they should at least be given the opportunity. Here and there in the different departments, there- fore, museums would do well to exhibit works of art

distinctly for the man who is seated, and, further, to exhibit them in such a way as not only to rest the

body, but to give the knowledge that is needed and the environment that accentuates the emotional im- print that the object gives. A museum can go far towards accomplishing this purpose by means of a light chair easily adjusted, a brief printed description lying on a nearby table, and an appropriate environ-

ment. This environment is probably the most de- batable factor. To some people a low window, a shaft of sunlight in the room, the incidental use of a piece of antique furniture, or a textile, or a growing plant are all distractions. Yet if they are used with careful discrimination and invariably in subordination to the objects exhibited, they may well tend not to distract, but rather to awaken the emotional nature, and thus give an opportunity to receive the deepest impression from the object; just as a fire on the hearth of the library and the wistaria at its window give an environment that may well beget a greater enjoyment of Keats.

2. One brief instance more: The exhibition galleries of museums open out of each other usually. This gives a certain stately effect and enables the better handling of crowds on free days; and it may well be wise, and indeed necessary. Yet it entails a certain corridor use of the rooms, which constantly disturbs the man who is rapt in the contemplation of a work REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT of art and tends to give even him, unfortunately, a restless, hurried feeling. Here and there in the different departments museums would do well to exhibit some of their greatest works of art in alcoves or rooms to be entered presumably only by those interested. This would have the advantage of calling attention to the importance of the object and avoiding to that extent the effort of discrimination as well as of giving the opportunity of undisturbed contemplation. Our own Museum has long tried to exhibit its col- lections in such a way as to give the greatest enjoy- ment; and has succeeded to my mind unusually well. To-day with the hearty co-operation of the Trustees and the Staff the Museum is making yet greater efforts to accomplish this object. For instance, it has recently built an alcove about its three-sided relief or throne, one of its greatest treasures of classical sculpture. It will place there, presumably, the seats and printed comments already spoken of, and person- ally, I hope that it will place there the color — per- haps in the form of a couple of large bay trees — that is needed to bring out the warmth and beauty of the object. Assuming that the Museum does this, it will suddenly convert an object which hitherto the public have usually passed almost without notice into one of the great, and deservedly great, features of the Mu- seum — one that will be far better known, one that will be far more enjoyed.

Intellectual interest in objects of art is common; emotional interest is rare. If the Museum, in the way suggested or in any other way, shall exhibit its objects so as to appeal more largely, not only to the mind, but 22 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT to the heart, so as to bring the visitor not merely the pleasures of study and criticism, but the happiness of exaltation, it will serve its public well. For great art is, in its ultimate character, personal. It is an appeal from height to height, from one who can speak to one who can only listen, from one who understands to one who needs and it comes like a handclasp even across ; the centuries.

REPORT OF THE TREASURER 47

Two material changes have been made during the past year:

T Wharf. Brim?ner Bequest. The larger part of this property has been sold, the Museum receiving $95,426.67, which has been invested. This property has been non income producing for several years.

Bartlett Bund. The lease of the building in Chicago has been cancelled and securities valued at about $105,000 received. The building being in bad condition has been repaired and partially relet. It is now free to hold or sell as may be desired. Probably a sale would be wise later. F. L. HIGGINSON, Treasurer. ANNUAL SUBSCRIBERS FOR THE YEAR 1916

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR To the Trustees of the Museum of Fine Arts:

I have the honor to submit to you my tenth annual report as Director, together with reports from those in immediate charge of the different departments. During the year the attention of the Staff has been devoted to the normal problems of museum work — preser- vation, exhibition, study and interpretation of the objects in the several departments. Some criticism of the principles of exhibition has led to special study of the galleries, partic- ularly in the Department of Classical Art, with two objects

in view : first, to lay more emphasis on important objects, and, secondly, to make the environment of the objects more pleasing. The construction of an alcove with top light for the three-sided Greek relief, sometimes called the throne, realizes a plan proposed some years ago to permit the proper exhibition of the most important piece of marble sculpture in the Museum. In the same department other changes are under consideration, the object of which is to increase the visitor’s enjoyment of the works of art by giving them a more attractive setting. That many of our galleries have seemed cold and bare is quite generally agreed. The cor- rection of this fault, and in particular the definite changes that have been proposed, in so far as they do not involve too great an expenditure of funds much needed for other purposes, are urged on your attention. ACQUISITIONS

The additions to the collection, and the loans received during the year, are described in the reports of the staff here- with submitted. In the President’s report (pages 13 to 15) the most important acquisitions receive special mention. : :

72 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR DEPARTMENT REPORTS

The detailed account of the activities of the Museum Staff

is also given in these reports. I desire to call attention to certain points in them, which are of general interest. Pri?it Department The valuable and important prints acquired during the year are among the most important additions to the collections of the Museum in this period. Thanks to the generosity of friends of the department and to

the interest of the Trustees, it has been possible to utilize

almost all of the few opportunities to obtain what was really needed to improve this collection. Again, thanks to the generosity of a friend, the series of excellent reproductions of rare prints for the use of students has been further devel-

oped until it is nearly complete for early Italian engraving. The Print-Collector s Quarterly continues to attract the favor- able attention of print lovers and to cultivate a wider interest

in this form of art. In March Mr. Carrington delivered the Scammon lectures at the Art Institute of Chicago these ; are in press and will shortly be published. In addition to the normal work of the department a considerable number of not very accessible articles on prints in German, French, and Italian are being translated or summarized for the benefit of students, and indices to scattered material in periodicals are being prepared. The catalogue of the Bullard Collection of prints from Turner’s Liber Studiorum, privately printed by

Mr. Winthrop, is a splendid memorial to Mr. Bullard as a collector and a scholar. Classical Department The changes in installation have already been mentioned. In my opinion the most important work on this branch of the collection is the adequate completion publication of the material ; accordingly, the of Dr. Chase’s Catalogue of Arretine Pottery and the progress on the catalogue of sculpture deserve your special attention. : :

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 73

Chinese and Japanese Department In addition to the normal work of the department, involving the care and the study of these great collections, I mention one subsidiary activity which promises much for the future. A considerable library of Chinese and Japanese books on art has gradually been acquired, but has not been widely used because of the absence of a proper catalogue and indices. The Museum has been fortunate in securing the services of Miss Hirano, a competent scholar trained in library work, to make this library serviceable. Inasmuch as all study of Chinese and Japanese art rests on records and criticisms which are only available to the scholar in the original language in which they are written, the importance of Miss Hirano’s work for scholarly investigation here in the future will be evident to you. Department of Egyptian Art Reports from Dr. Reisner continue the account of his striking success in excavations in Egypt. His most interesting campaign was at Gebel Barkal, near Napata in the province of Dongola, during the early spring. The site was important politically and com- mercially in that it lay at the head of navigation between the third and fourth cataracts, at the junction of five caravan roads through the desert, and near the border of a relatively rich agricultural area. In the eighth century B. C. Napata was the capital of the kingdom of Ethiopia, mentioned in the Old Testament as an opponent of Assyria. The pyramids near the mountain of Gebel Barkal have long puzzled archaeologists, whose repeated efforts failed to discover any entrance. This problem Dr. Reisner promptly solved, and he explored the inner chambers of these royal tombs, finding many interesting objects. He further started the excavation of several temples in the vicinity. Here he was so fortunate as to find ten large statues of kings of Ethiopia, in frag- ments, but five of them nearly complete. Among them is 74 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR

a statue of the Biblical king Tirhaka. These statues are of royal Egyptian workmanship, and the assignment of our share to this Museum will enrich our collection for the New

Empire period where it needs development. During the

present winter Dr. Reisner is continuing his excavation of this rich and important site. Unfortunately the unsafe conditions of transportation do not permit us to bring to Boston as yet the many cases containing objects found by Dr. Reisner during the last three seasons and assigned to this Museum by the Egyptian government. Departments of Western Art: The Departments of Paint- ings and of Western Art record a series of important exhibitions which have proved of great interest to visitors

during the year. The gratitude of the Museum is due to the many persons who have lent pictures and other objects of art both for these special exhibitions and for exhibition at other times.

Inasmuch as it is part of the plan of this Museum to encourage special students to work on the reserve or study collections and not to limit themselves to the relatively small number of important objects exhibited in the galleries on the main floor, the number of such students as recorded in

department reports is of interest: 2,167 persons came to the Print Study Room to examine and study prints ; 851 persons came to the Office of the Chinese and Japanese Department for information and study, and 653 copyists in the galleries have been recorded; 2,553 students have worked in the Textile Study Room, and 476 copyists have been recorded in the galleries 928 students worked on the ; Western Art Collections in the Study Room and in the galleries. The number of students working in the Library has increased from 4,550 last year to 5,241 this year, and in the Photograph Room from 3,239 to 3,453. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 75

The plan for voluntary service on the Staff by persons seeking training as Museum Assistants has been continued, and such Assistants have worked in the Photograph Room and in the Departments of Prints, of Classical Art, of Western Art, and of Education. The value of this training has found recognition in the appointment of two of these voluntary Assistants to paid positions here and two others to paid positions elsewhere. Changes in the Staff have been confined to Assistants,

with two exceptions : Mr. Kojiro Tomita has been made Assistant Curator of the Chinese and Japanese Department instead of Keeper, and the Assistant Director has undertaken the work of the Bursar in addition to his other duties. EDUCATIONAL WORK

As in former years the department of education has not sought to duplicate the work of other institutions, either in the history of art or in technical training, but its aim has been rather to develop intelligent interest in and appreciation of the works of art here exhibited. For young children the method continues to be story telling, illustrated by screen pictures of works of art and focusing on two or three paint- ings or statues in the Museum which the children are taken to see after the stories. Again, a generous friend has given funds to bring here children from the school playgrounds

and settlement houses in the summer ; the number of children hearing the stories by Mrs. Scales and Mrs. Cronan was 6,836 as compared with 6,555 last year. On Saturday afternoons Mrs. Scales has told stories to 849 children, some from nearby schools and others by invitation to annual sub- scribers. In many instances the same children come back year after year with developing interest in the Museum, and after the series of stories is finished they meet Mrs. Scales by appointment to learn more of the works of art shown here. 76 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR

Miss Kallen, with groups of children from the settlement houses, reaches the same end by more intensive work, start- ing with the principles of order and beauty in simple design-

If any of you question the value of work with children, I suggest that you watch these groups of thirty or forty children, about ten years old, on Saturday morning, or early Sunday afternoon the groups of Hebrew children for whom

the Saturday has been their Sabbath : their intense interest in copying simple forms from Coptic or Persian textiles, from Japanese paintings of birds and animals or from other objects, and their evident delight in the work are sufficient proof of its value. The results are seen in the annual exhibition of their studies. The regular docent work, mainly with pupils from the high schools of the city, has slightly increased, the number of persons in these parties being 4,352 as against 4,213 last year in addition, pupils from schools and colleges ; 2,380 came in parties for study without asking for a docent. The number of school pupils who come on Saturdays and Sun- days as the result of suggestions from their teachers is con siderable, but cannot be learned with any accuracy. The account of Thursday conferences, Sunday docent talks, and various lectures and courses of study is given in the report of the Supervisor of Educational Work. I should call attention to the “ intensive ” Sunday conferences inaugu- rated with the aid of Mrs. Charles E. Whitmore. Mrs. Whitmore, and later Mrs. Scales, gave informal guidance to small groups, not more than six persons in a group, three times each Sunday afternoon in the spring and autumn. The object was to find some point of contact between the guide and the group, and then to use this common interest as a means of giving the group a real and vital comprehension of some few works of art in the collections. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 77 USE OF THE MUSEUM

The attendance at the Museum has been exceeded only three times in its history, namely, in 1903, when the National Education Association brought large numbers of teachers to Boston; in 1910, when this building was first opened and in when the Evans Galleries were ; 1915, opened. The move from a centre like Copley Square to the present situation made the Museum more difficult of access and ” prevented many people from “ dropping in for a short visit.

It is not surprising that the attendance dropped from about 260,000 in the years 1902-1907 to 220,000 or less in the years 1911-1914; it is equally gratifying that in a year without any unusual attraction to visitors the attendance should have reached 265,409 in 1916. The fact remains that the distance of an art museum from the centre of the city is a disadvantage in this respect, and probably special effort must be made to develop such knowledge of it and interest in it as will attract visitors to make the necessary effort to come. Perhaps it is true that art as represented in the art museum makes no great appeal to the American people that our art museums are for the few who ; have learned to care for art rather than for the many ; and that the primary duty of museums is to collect wisely for the future when the great art of past days can no longer be obtained. Even granted that such statements are true, is it not also the duty of an art museum to make every effort to increase the number of those who really profit by the collec- tions it has made and exhibits ? The efforts of our Museum in this direction have been by no means fruitless, and if wisely guided they should presently show greater results.

Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR FAIRBANKS,

Director. FIVE-YEAR STATEMENT (1912-19x6 INCLUSIVE) AS TO THE GROWTH OF THE COLLECTIONS INCREASED USE OF THE MUSEUM

During the last five years the Museum has received no single gift of works of art in any way comparable to the gifts of the Weld and Bigelow Collections in 1911, nor may such gifts be expected in the future. Mr. Francis Bartlett’s gift of a large fund in 1912, however, primarily for the purchase of paintings and works of Classical Art, marks an epoch almost equally important for the development of the collec- tions. Further, the splendid Galleries for Paintings, given by Mrs. Robert Dawson Evans and opened early in 1915, will prove a constant stimulus to the development of this branch of the collection. The appointment of Mr. P'itzRoy Carrington as Curator of the Print Department, with Mr. Richter as Associate Curator, and the adoption of The Print-Collector s Quarterly, which Mr. Carrington had edited for Messrs. Frederick Keppel & Com- pany, have created new and widespread interest in this form of art. The most important addition to the collection was the Bullard Bequest, comprising “ the finest and most com- prehensive collection of Turner’s ‘Liber Studiorum ’ ever brought together”; 60 mezzotints by Lucas, 34 proofs of wood-cuts bv Durer; 11 proofs of Holbein’s “Dance of Death ” and one of the best existing impressions of ; Mantegna’s “The Battle of the Sea-Gods.” Of the Italian fifteenth century engravings obtained by gift and purchase, including “The Triumph of Love,” The Planets (Mars and Luna), prints by Giulio Campagnola, the Tarocchi Cards, etc., the fine early impression of the “Assumption of the DIRECTOR’S REPORT: FIVE-YEAR STATEMENT 79

Virgin” after Botticelli is the most important; and of the early German School “Christ entering Jerusalem” by Master L Cz and a first state of Schongauer’s “Death of the Virgin” deserve mention. The collection of portrait etch-

ings by Van Dyck has been enriched by four portraits, in- cluding the rare portrait of himself, in the first state, and by two others in the very rare second state only two or ; three existing collections of these portraits are more complete. Two fine etchings by Rembrandt — “ Three Cottages,” third state, and “ Flight into Egypt,” fourth state, — Piranesi’s ” “ Prisons in the first state, and 63 seventeenth century Dutch landscape etchings, are also important acquisitions. Meantime the set of reproductions of rare early prints for the use of students has been systematically built up. The most striking addition to the collection of Classical

Art is the little ivory and gold Minoan figure of the Snake Goddess given by Mrs. Fitz, a unique statuette almost modern in feeling, from the middle of the second millennium B. C. Of the four important marbles three are heads — a fourth century original of wonderful charm, though much battered a marble copy of a bronze from the fifth ; century, which retains much of the spirit of the original ; and a fine portrait, probably of Marciana, Trajan’s sister. The fourth is a marble copy of a statuette of Heracles in the style of the sculptor Myron. Seventeen terra cottas, mainly fifth century small heads from Southern Italy, twenty-one vases of fine quality, and the contents of an Etruscan tomb were purchased from the Francis Bartlett Fund. The M. Elizabeth Carter Collection of ancient glass has been established by a gift of charming examples of the iridescent type. The additions to the Chinese and Japanese Department with a few important exceptions, represent Chinese Art.

The one great example of Japanese Art is the standing Kwannon of the Tempyo period that came in 1912, though 8o DIRECTOR’S REPORT: FIVE-YEAR STATEMENT the Chikami Collection of 1019 sword guards and a large collection of A^-drama costumes have been acquired during the last five years. Within this period the collection of Chinese sculpture has received splendid additions by gift and purchase, notably the early Kwan-yin given by Dr. Ross in memory of Mr. Okakura and the standing figure pur- chased early in 1915, till it is perhaps the most important collection in any museum. More than fifty early Chinese bronzes have been secured. The Macomber Collection of Chinese pottery, — a thoroughly representative collection of fine examples, — has been bought by the Museum. Eighty-six pieces of early Chinese jade, attributed mainly to the Chou and Han periods, have come from China. Up to five years ago the Buddhist painting of China was fairly well repre- sented, but not the secular painting the acquisition of over ; eighty carefully chosen Chinese paintings, mainly secular, has done much to fill this gap. Incidentally many valuable books have been secured for the library, which now is well adapted to the needs of the student. The organization built up by the late Mr. Okakura continues to give us unusual opportunities for purchase in the direction of Chinese Art. The results of Dr. Reisner’s excavations in Egypt in 1915 and 1916 are known only by his reports, as the objects assigned to this Museum from the excavations of these years, and some from the year 1914, are still in Egypt. Among the objects received by the Museum within five years are the Middle Empire statue of the Lady Sennuwy with other less important statues of the same period, a granite portrait head and three limestone royal portrait heads of the fourth dynasty from Gizeh, two fifth dynasty groups from the Cheops cemetery at Gizeh, two statuettes of seated figures — one of the fourth and one of the fifth dynasty,— and a fairly well preserved sixth dynasty wooden figure of the best workmanship. With the statues assigned to us, but still in DIRECTOR’S REPORT: FIVE-YEAR STATEMENT 81

Egypt, the extraordinary success of the years 1907-1911 in securing sculpture in the round of the greatest period has been all but duplicated. Of the quantities of less important material, — stone and bronze vessels, pottery, articles of personal adornment, etc., — I need not speak, nor of the valuable results for our knowledge of ancient Egypt and its history that have come from Dr. Reisner’s work. During the years 1912 and 1913 M. Guiffrey continued his purchases for the Department of Painting. German primitives by the Master of St. Severin and Josse van Cleve, the Bramantino Madonna and the “Cupid and Psyche” cassone front, the “Judith” by Jan Matsys, Claude Lorrain’s “Parnassus,” Gainsborough’s “John Eld” and Turner’s “ Falls of the Rhine at Schaffhausen,” together with the Sargent and Boit water colors, represent his larger purchases during these two years. In the years 1914-1916 the Museum purchased a cassone front attributed to Paolo Uccello, a “ Marriage of St. Catherine,” attributed to Lippo Memmi, and, in the field of American painting, works by Hawthorne, Adelaide Cole Chase, Paxton, and Crowninshield. Again very

important gifts have been received from Mrs. Fitz : the rarely beautiful examples of Fra Angelico and Lippo Memmi, and five other Italian primitives. The Corot received by bequest from Mr. Francis Bartlett and the larger, equally fine work by Corot received from Mr. Hemenway deserve the appreciation that has been given them. The Henry C. and Martha B. Angell Collection, recently given to the Museum but not yet received, will add many very charming works by Corot and other French painters. Five works by Gilbert Stuart, ex- amples of the work of Harding and Frothingham and Hunt, and a painting enjoyed by all visitors, Sully’s “Torn Hat,” have come to the Museum by gift or bequest. Paintings by the following Modern American painters have also been

given to the Museum : Allen, Benson, Bosley, Appleton 82 DIRECTOR’S REPORT: FIVE-YEAR STATEMENT

Brown, Churchill, Foxcroft, Cole, C. H. Davis, Kronberg,

Longfellow, Mrs. Perry, and Vinton. It will be seen that, while the purchases of paintings during the last three years are few, the gifts have in some measure made up the deficiency both in number and importance. The Textile Collection has been increased during these five years by 935 examples, of which twelve were purchases and the balance gifts or purchases in part with money given for this special purpose. The purchase of three Flemish tapestries of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries was particularly desirable, both on account of their high quality and because the Museum does not possess many

tapestries. The Museum is again indebted to Dr. Ross for large gifts of brocades, velvets, damasks, embroideries, laces, and rugs. His most valuable single gift is perhaps the very interestingseries of early Peruvian embroideries and weavings. A flounce of Milanese bobbin lace from Mrs. George Dudley Howe and one of Venetian rose point from Mrs. Winthrop Sargent greatly enrich this part of the collection. In the Department of Western Art a beginning has been made for a collection of Gothic sculpture by the purchase of a stone “ Madonna and Child,” a statuette of the same sub- ject in wood, a “ St. Barbara ” in wood, and various stone reliefs, niches, etc. Several pieces of modern sculpture,— of which the most important is Dallin’s “Appeal to the Great

Spirit” — have been purchased by the Museum or given to it. Over a hundred pieces of European and Colonial silver, including a Homes punch bowl and a sugar box and trencher salt by John Coney, have been given by individuals or by churches. The great acquisitions in this department, however, have been two collections of Persian and Indian of miniature paintings, the Goloubew Collection 17 1 pieces purchased by the Museum and the collection of 128 pieces formed and given by Dr. Ross. ;

DIRECTOR’S REPORT: FIVE-YEAR STATEMENT 83

To the Library 2,814 bound volumes, many of them expensive works, have been added mainly by purchase and the Photograph Collection has been increased by 10,171 photographs.

That the use of the collections has developed normally and with a healthy rapidity during these five years is evident from such figures as are available. The number of visitors has in- creased from about 220,000 to 265,000 in 1916. The num- ber of special students working from the collections — not counting students who draw from the casts — has increased in each department. For example, in the Print Department the number of visitors who came to the Print Study Room for study of prints increased from 1,355 i n 191 1 to 2,167 i n the Japanese Study Room records visitors in 1916 ; 300 1913, and 851 in 1916 in addition to 653 students copying from ob- jects exhibited in the galleries in the Western Art Depart- ; ment the number of students and copyists was 448 in 1912 and in in the Textile Study Room the number of 928 1916 ; students and copyists was 1,271 in 1912, and in 1916 it was 2,553 in addition to 466 students copying in the galleries. The larger number of these persons are young persons study- ing art, many of them in preparation for professional work as

designers ; a considerable number, however, especially in the Textile Department, are professional designers. The effort to make the Museum useful to schools and colleges cannot easily be gauged. As for the number of free tickets issued for school use the number issued to individual students was 1,684 i n 1916, as compared with in 1,708 1 91 1 ; the number issued to teachers for themselves and for their classes was 5,643 in 1916, as compared with 3,196 in 1911. It would seem that the systematic use of the Museum by classes had probably increased in a marked degree. The number of persons receiving docent guidance 84 DIRECTOR’S REPORT: FIVE-YEAR STATEMENT

was 4,046 in 1911 and 4,342 in 1916; in the last year it should be noted that 2,380 pupils came in parties from schools without asking for docent service, in addition to

many pupils who came singly on Saturdays and Sundays at the suggestion of their teachers. During the last two years the Director of Art and Manual Training in the public schools of Boston has arranged for a lecture about the Museum by one of his assistants in every school in Boston ; and each year some 25,000 sheets of reproductions from objects in the Museum are used in the schools by the teachers of drawing. Regular courses of study for teachers have been offered each year by the Museum in the effort to give the teachers in our schools a better knowledge of art as represented in the Museum and a truer appreciation

of it. The Thursday Conferences, the Sunday Docent Service, and occasional lectures for the benefit of the general public have been continued because they seem to meet a real demand. A new type of Sunday conferences, “intensive”

in character, is described in the Director’s report for the

current year. It seems to be proven that the spoken word may develop an interest in art when the printed label or catalogue often only conveys information. Still the Handbook and the Bulletin prove useful, both for the information they give and for their help to an understanding of the objects exhibited. Several scholarly catalogues are in preparation, one of which, Dr. Chase’s Catalogue of Arretine Pottery, has been pr'nted and is about ready for distribution. For the student in the galleries the system of Gallery Books has been extended and developed, particularly in the Classical Department. These books are kept in the galleries for students. They give somewhat fully the information a visitor may desire in looking at the exhibitions, and changes are made to correspond with the changes in exhibition. DIRECTOR’S REPORT: FIVE-YEAR STATEMENT 85

Within these five years Mr. Huger Elliott has been appointed Supervisor of Educational Work and Mrs. Scales Museum Instructor. The most important change in the work, besides a perhaps closer relation to the public schools, has been in the effort to interest young children in the

Museum. It has seemed that Museum instruction, like that provided for older children in connection with their school work, was hardly suited to children between the ages of eight and fourteen. Small groups of these younger children, mainly from the Settlement Houses, have been most success- fully trained in the principles of order and beauty in design, and taught to care for art by Miss Kallen. For larger groups the story has been used as the means for making a

real contact between the child and the work of art. Mrs. Cronan and Mrs. Scales in the summer, and Mrs. Scales in the winter, have held the interest of large audiences of children by stories illustrated with lantern slides the stories ; have been devised to focus the attention of the audience on one or two works of art in the Museum and after the story ; the children are taken to see the paintings themselves. The aim has been not to instruct, but to create interest, and that in only one or two objects at a time. The results of this interest have been evident in the repeated visits of many of the children to the Museum and if this interest can ; be deepened and made more intelligent, the promise for the future is good.

This material, together with the Department’s growing collec- tion of reproductions, forms an invaluable document for the study of a school of engraving of which neither original works nor reproductions can readily be consulted elsewhere in America.

Through the generosity of a member of the Visiting Committee the collection of reproductions has been strength- ened by the addition of one hundred and twenty-three photographs (of the same size as the originals) of Fifteenth Century Italian Engravings in the British Museum. One DEPARTMENT OF PRINTS 95 hundred and twenty-eight photographs of Early German Engravings in the British Museum, as well as a number of drawings relating to Fifteenth Century Prints, are also in process of being made.

Sir, — I have the honor to submit to you the thirty-first annual report of the Department of Classical Art.

ACQUISITIONS

The list of acquisitions by purchase and gift during the year is unusually small, but includes two works which have materially increased the value of the collection of classical sculpture. The marble head of a goddess is the best pre- served replica of an important sculptural type created about the middle of the fifth century by an Attic sculptor, possibly Kalamis. The head of a Roman lady with the characteristic hairdress of the Trajanic period is a rare masterpiece of Roman portrait sculpture, and has in addition an iconographic interest in that it probably represents Marciana, the sister of the Emperor Trajan.

16.45. Female Head from a statuette of about half life-size.

Marble; height, 0.165 m - Fine Greek work of the early fourth century B. C. The surface is badly worn. Found in Greece. Gift of Mrs. Samuel Cabot. 16.62. Head of a Goddess. Marble; height, 0.44 m. This head is from a draped, standing figure of heroic size, the original of which is to be ascribed to an Attic sculptor of about 460 B. C. The statue is best known through a badly preserved marble statue in (cf. Bullettino Communale in the Conservatori Museum Rome , XXXII., 1904, pp. 299ft., PI. VIII., IX.). Discussed in Museum of Fine Arts Bulletin , No. 84, p. 28. Purchased from the James Fund and with A CONTRIBUTION FROM MRS. W. SCOTT FlTZ.

DEPARTMENT WORK

Installation. Plans for changes in the arrangement of four rooms on the main floor of the Classical Wing, which have been under consideration for several years, have been matured, and their execution begun. They are designed to improve the exhibition of the collection of Greek sculp- ture. A cross wall with a large opening in it has been built near the east end of the Fifth Century Room, forming an alcove in which the companion piece to the “ Ludovisi Throne” — the most important object in the collection — will be shown on a new pedestal and under a ceiling light. The door leading into the First Marble Room has been blocked up, and egress is now afforded through a new door into the end of the Balcony of the Court. Nearby is a door leading into the First Marble Room. The plan calls also for two similar doors in the opposite corner of the Balcony and for the removal of the thin partition between the two Marble 98 CLASSICAL ART

Rooms. Several advantages are gained by this new arrange- ment. The Three-sided Relief will receive the top light which its shape demands, and, by its segregation from the exhibition of small objects in the Fifth Century Room, will be given greater emphasis. The Roman sculptures at the east end of the Balcony will be better lighted than formerly, and the visitor will be invited to traverse the Gallery instead of bestowing a cursory glance on its contents from the west end, as too frequently happens now. The exhibition of Greek marbles will also become more accessible.

The building operations have made it necessary to close the Fifth Century Room for several weeks. Some of the most important objects are temporarily shown elsewhere. Casts of the east frieze of the Theseum, of portions of the friezes of the temple of Nike Apteros and the Mausoleum, of the Mantinean reliefs, and of a number of Attic grave reliefs have been installed in the corridor on the Ground Floor between the Forecourt Room and the East Cast Court.

Publications. It is a pleasure to announce the publication of the first of the series of catalogues of the Classical col- lections. This is the Catalogue of Arretine Pottery, by Professor George H. Chase, of Harvard University. The Museum’s collection of Arretine ware ranks, with the Loeb Collection, next in importance to that in the Museo Civico at Arezzo itself. Progress has been made during the year on the catalogues of sculpture and vases. L. D. CASKEY, Curator. —;

DEPARTMENT OF CHINESE AND JAPANESE ART To the Director:

Sir: — I have the honor to submit the seventeenth annual report on the Department of Chinese and Japanese Art.

ACQUISITIONS

During the past year it has again been the Museum’s good fortune to obtain by purchase, gift and loan several objects which, on account of their high quality and signifi- cance, seem to be particularly deserving of special mention.

First in importance among the purchases, is the small lime- stone sarcophagus recently acquired in China, — a dated sculpture of unusual perfection and great historic interest it surely ranks with the most precious treasures of our col- lections. The large Tibetan painting of Aryavalokitesvara is a fine specimen of its kind, and the delicate Japanese print by Harunobu is a singularly perfect impression, almost as clean and fresh as when it was made. The resources of the Department have been still further enlarged by the purchase of more than eight hundred Chinese and Japanese books. Among the gifts, the two Chinese bronze vessels presented by Mrs. Weld are important acquisitions and ; among the loans, Mr. Curtis’ Chinese potteries, Mr. Pick- man’s Chinese porcelains, and the Japanese screen lent by Mr. Michael have been valuable additions to our exhibitions.

I venture to express here the Department’s deep sense of gratitude for its share in the generosity of the friends of the Museum. IOO CHINESE AND JAPANESE ART PURCHASES Painting 16.386.

The organization of the Department has been greatly improved by the recent advancement of Mr. Tomita to the office of Assistant Curator, and the scope of the work has been most usefully enlarged by the employment of Miss Chie Hirano as cataloguer of our Chinese and Japanese books. In addition, Mr. Shobi Iwataki is now temporarily employed in repairing such of our lacquers as require expert attention.

During the year, two hundred and fifty prints, thirty-four casts, twenty-four pieces of pottery and porcelain, twenty- three kakemono eight screens, two pieces of , and bronze have been placed on exhibition, and seven cases of pottery, four of lacquer and one of bronze have been re-arranged. A special exhibition of fifteen of the Chinese paintings pur- chased by the Museum was installed in the Forecourt Gallery, and a special exhibition of prints by Buncho, Kyonaga and Utamaro, was installed in the Renaissance Court. The routine work of the Department has consisted partly in completing the registration of the Macomber Col- lection of pottery and porcelain, the registration of the casts of Javanese sculpture, the typing and filing of sheets and cards for over five hundred sword guards of the Bigelow Collection, and the current registration. In addition some three thousand volumes of Chinese and Japanese books, besides many sketches and designs, have been examined and sorted ninety-two special photographs of Chinese, Japanese, ; and Tibetan paintings have been made an inventory of the ; galleries and storages, not including the painting and print in storages, has been made ; the photographs and catalogues arranged and filed over five the Department have been ; hundred titles among our Chinese books have been catalogued and complete indexes of two Chinese biographical dictionaries have been made printed labels for the Chinese pottery and ; CHINESE AND JAPANESE ART 103 bronzes have been prepared over eight hundred pieces of ; were examined and those needing repair lacquer selected ; sixty-six Chinese and Japanese books, five hundred and ten prints, twenty-six screens, and four panels have been re- mounted or repaired eight hundred and fifty-one visitors, ; exclusive of Museum officials, have been received, and six hundred and fifty-three copyists have been recorded in the

DEPARTMENT WORIC During the early part of January, Mr. Joseph Lindon Smith assisted in the rearrangement and new installation of objects and cases in the exhibition rooms. The three travelling cases of small objects which were arranged for exhibition and study in the public schools of Boston, have aroused a great deal of interest. A Gallery Book has been written explaining the amulets in the Way Collection. Measures have been taken during the year for the better protection and preservation of objects, both on exhibition and in the storage. Respectfully submitted for the Department, H. L.

ACQUISITIONS PURCHASES

The only purchases made during the year have been examples of the work of contemporary American artists, purchased from the income of the Charles H. Hayden Fund. Of these, The Mother, by Charles W. Hawthorne, has given particular pleasure to the visiting public. It successfully accomplishes the artist’s purpose of presenting the emo- tional appeal of humble lives the spectator is ; impressed by its sincerity and simplicity. The picture is conceived in yellow light with a foil of blue, a color contrast which is always of interest.

The complete list of purchases follows :

Paintings :

The Mother, by Charles W. Hawthorne. (See Bulletin No. 82,. p. 18.) The Violinist, by Adelaide Cole Chase. Nude, by William M. Paxton.

Water Colors : Perugia, by Frederic Crowninshield. Taormina, by Frederic Crowninshield.

GIFTS

Several very important pictures have been given to the Museum during the year. Chief among these are the Land- scape, by Corot, given by Augustus Hemenway in memory of Louis and Amy Hemenway Cabot, and the Crucifixion, by Lippo Memmi, given by Mrs. W. Scott Fitz. The Landscape is a picture of the type most pleasantly associated with Corot, and represents the perfection of his technical method in his great period. The little panel by Memmi reflects the piety of the fourteenth century in Italy it is a mature creation by ; the artist at the height of his career, and in execution and condition it is practically perfect. The Torn Hat, by Sully, which had been lent to the Museum for many years, has been presented by Miss Belle Greene and Mr. Henry Copley Greene in memory of their mother, Mrs. J. S. Copley Greene. The picture is a singularly spontaneous, vivid and direct portrait of a healthy boy, and has always been a source of unusual interest and pleasure. Two important portraits by Gilbert Stuart, of Mrs. Mary Sumner Williams and Miss Sally Patten, were included in a bequest to the Museum by Mrs. George Hollingsworth.

Seven special exhibitions of paintings have been held during the year. The Centennial exhibition of paintings, drawings, and sculpture by Dr. William Rimmer, held in February, was a fitting tribute to a man who occupies a unique place in the art history of this country. His great io8 PAINTINGS interest was in anatomy to which he was devoted with a fer- vor which led him to creative activity affected by his keen appreciation of the anatomical supremacy of Michel Angelo. The Guild of Boston Artists was invited to hold a special exhibition in March. In May an exhibition of paintings by John Singer Sargent was opened. This exhibition was con- tinued through the summer and proved of great interest, not only to the residents of Boston, but to the transient visitors.

It contained some relatively unfamiliar portraits as well as landscapes which had been shown at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco and which were entirely new to Boston. In November a Memorial exhibition of the work of Howard Gardiner Cushing was held in the Renaissance Court. This extensive exhibition, including canvases of great variety, reflected Mr. Cushing’s wide range of interest, his true color sense, his feeling for decoration and exceptional refinement of taste. In December one of the galleries was devoted to a Memorial exhibition of pictures by Mrs. Maria Hallowed Loud. Mrs. Loud studied in the Museum School and for many years had been a member of the School Council. The exhibition covered as far as possible every phase of her effort.

To the Director of the Museum :

Sir, — I have the honor to submit the following report on

the Collection of Textiles for the past year : The accessions number one hundred and fourteen one ; hundred and thirteen were gifts one was a ; bequest.

GIFTS AND BEQUESTS

Especially important among the acquisitions are five pieces of early Peruvian embroideries given by Dr. Denman Waldo Ross, a flounce of Venetian rose point lace given by Mrs. Winthrop Sargent and one of Milanese bobbin lace given by Mrs. George Dudley Howe. The Peruvian embroideries were excavated in the Nasca Valley and belong to the earliest known civilization of Peru At the present time very few pieces of this embroidery have found their way to the museums of either Europe or America. They are remarkable for the beauty and variety of their colors and for the perfection of their technique, as well as for the interest of their designs. With these embroideries were given also smaller pieces of Peruvian tapestry, like in workmanship, but quitedifferent in color and design from the pieces that were given to the Museum, in 1 878, by Mr. Edward W. Hooper, and which have long been an important feature of the Textile Col- lection. The rose point flounce given by Mrs. Winthrop Sar- gent has, through the courtesy of Mrs. Sargent, been exhibited sincei9ii in the Sixteenth Century Room of the Western Art department. It is a very beautiful example of this exquisite WESTERN ART: TEXTILES 117 lace and a great addition to the collection. The Milanese bobbin lace flounce, the gift of Mrs. Howe, is also a very good specimen of its type and one deserving special mention. The

To the Director of the Museum :

Sir, — I have the honor to submit the following report for the past year ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions to the number of one hundred and eighty-one have been received in the Department and catalogued. Of these seven were purchases and 174 were gifts. Nearly all of the objects have been placed on exhibition in the galleries where they belong. Among the purchases are a marble statuette of a young girl, by Bela L. Pratt a ; fourteenth century Tuscan walnut sacristy cupboard from the Davanzati in Florence and two Palace Collection ; Colonial doorways from the Eben White Tavern, Hatfield, Mass. The larger door has been placed temporarily in one of the Picture Reserve

Exhibition Rooms, and it is hoped that in the coming year the plan of making a special Colonial installation in the base- ment of this room may be carried out. Panelling for two rooms is already available, and it is proposed to cut a stair- way to connect the two floors. This will furnish an oppor- tunity to show a stair rail and balusters of the period. The Museum would appreciate gifts of any such material and of Colonial furniture for furnishing the rooms. Dr. Denman W. Ross has added a number of pieces to the collection of Persian lustred tiles, and he has also given thirteen pieces of Persian metal work. Mrs. Winthrop Sargent has presented nine pieces of English and American pewter. From George F. Meacham have come forty-three Indian WESTERN ART: EXCEPT TEXTILES I 2 I

The Loan Exhibition of Glass and Jewelry closed February 14 with a total attendance of five thousand four hundred and ninety-eight. From May 10 to October 27 a special exhibi- tion of Oriental Arms and Armor from the Macomber Col- lection was held in the Forecourt Room. Seventeen thou-

sand six hundred and thirty-eight people attended it. Beginning early in July part of Miss A. Josephine Clark’s collection of English printed ware cup plates was placed for six months on exhibition in the Corridor near the Study Room. What was probably the largest collection of American and European pewter ever shown at one time was the loan exhibi-

tion which opened in the Forecourt Room on November 8,

and lasted until January 15, 1917. About seventy lenders contributed over five hundred pieces of American and European make, dating from the seventeenth to the early

nineteenth century. A list of American pewterers was pre- pared and placed on sale. During the year Gallery Books for the Lawrence and Bremgarten Rooms and the William Arnold Buffum Collec- tion of Amber were prepared by the Assistant and put in use. Mrs. Richard Norton has been a volunteer assistant in

the department since October first. Nine hundred and twenty-eight students worked from objects in the galleries and Study Room — from pottery, jewelry, illuminations, Persian miniatures, furniture, etc. Five hundred and seven people visited the Study Room asking for information. Mr. Eugene De Forest of New Haven, gave two talks on pewter in connection with the loan exhibition on December

16 and 17. The Assistant in Charge lectured before the Fall River Women’s Club in November on European Pottery and Porcelain and in December she spoke on Persian Pot- ; tery at the Rhode Island School of Design. Mrs. Norton WESTERN ART: EXCEPT TEXTILES 129 talked twice on the Pewter Exhibition and guided visitors through the galleries during Christmas week. Five specimens of pottery and porcelain were lent to the Pennsylvania Museum, Philadelphia, for an Exhibition of Fakes and Reproductions. The monthly sending out of church silver numbered forty lots, and the Assistant helped to arrange four exhibits at the Society of Arts and Crafts in October. FLORENCE V.

Photo- graphs to the number of 11,937 have been used outside the individuals or classes in the building, room ; by 224 and 409 times outside the Museum. Beyond the regular routine of recording and cataloguing, it is the constant purpose to make the material already in the Library more accessible to readers to this end the indexing ; of periodical articles has been carried on until twenty of the Museum’s periodical sets are now indexed to date. Some time has been devoted to expanding parts of the classification to meet the growth of the collection — notably in the decorative arts. ! 3 2 THE LIBRARIAN

During the first months of the year the experiment was tried of keeping the Photograph Room open on Sunday after- noon. One member of the Library staff was present, an exhibition was made of photographs relating to the talks given in the Museum, and a selection of books placed on the tables. The arrangement was not a success, as the Sunday visitors to the Museum come for enjoyment rather than for study. As usual, the Library has been called on this year to meet requests for books, photographs and information not obtain- able elsewhere. During the first part of the year it was ransacked to provide material for the pupils of the Museum School who were designing costumes for the Shakespeare

Festival in April; later it was called upon by the designers of the Russian and other national booths at the Allied Bazaar. The students of architectural design at the Wentworth Insti- tute have discovered that they can here obtain help they need and when special exhibitions have been held in the ; Museum, the books on the subject have been placed on a special table for the use of visitors and much used. The most notable event of the year, however, was the erection of a gallery in the Photograph Room which accom- modates the file of magazine pictures. This was made possible by the generosity of Miss Harriet Smith Tolman, a member of the Library Visiting Committee, who bore the entire expense in connection with a much needed enlargement of the room in which her History of Art Series of photographs is placed. These changes were described and illustrated in the Bulletin for June. The usefulness of this latter collection has been increased during the year by the addition of a library of reference books. It is the aim of the collection to develop catalogues raisonnds of the works of European painters and sculptors, which shall include not only lists of the photo- graphs in the collection, but also critical notes upon other THE LIBRARIAN l 33

works attributed to the artists. Although this scheme is

still in process of development, it has been much appreciated already by such teachers and advanced students as have dis-

covered how much preliminary research is here done for them and ready for use. In the Photograph Collection about 1,300 views of Italian architecture, painting, and minor arts have been added, includ- ing the tapestries in the Galleria degli Arazzi in Florence. The American series has been increased by the addition of the early American portraits in the Walker Art Gallery, Bowdoin College, and a number of views of Colonial archi- tecture in Virginia. The photographs of Persian miniatures have been cata-

logued, and references to authorities given. In all, 2,248 photographs have been catalogued, and 242 more classified.

The file of magazine clippings has continued to grow in numbers and usefulness; 3,668 mounts were added to the collection, and 1,581 were lent during the year, besides the use made of them in the room. An interesting collection

of posters was given for this file by Dr. B. Van Rippen. Miss Van Tuyll resigned her position as cataloguer in the

Library July 1, and was succeeded September 11, by Mr. Roscoe L. Dunn, from the New York State Library School at Albany. Respectfully submitted, FOSTER STEARNS, Librarian. *34 THE LIBRARIAN

I have the honor to submit the following report for the past year on duties assigned to me by the Trustees apart from the Secretaryship.

PUBLICATIONS

The Annual Report was issued March 31. The Bulletin and the Print-Collector s Quarterly have appeared as usual. A general index to the Bulletin, Volumes I to XIII, 1903 to 1915, was issued with Bulletin Number 81 for February. The twelfth edition of the Handbook was issued on August 29, with new plans and with additional pages demanded by the growth of the collections in the seventeen months since the last edition appeared. The Handbook now contains 424 pages, with 341 illustrations. The section on Pictures has been reprinted separately to supply in part the constant call for a catalogue of our pictures. It is greatly to be hoped that the coming year may see the publication of a complete list of our pictures. No publication that the Museum could issue would meet a wider popular demand. F"ive editions of the Leaflet Guide have been issued. The Guide continues to be distributed to ticket-holders, and is sold on free days at one cent. About five hundred are used every week. With each succeeding edition the information it contains has been compressed into smaller compass and other data added. The Inserts, giving changes since the Guide was printed, which were proposed in my last report, have been regularly issued since March, the thirtieth bearing THE SECRETARY OF THE MUSEUM J 3 7 date December n. It is believed that in the Leaflet Guide and its Inserts visitors to a museum have for the first time been provided daily with a complete outline account of all the Museum has to show, corrected up to the day it is used.

The back of the Insert is utilized for a plan of the Museum in which the names of all the galleries are printed. The publications relating to the Museum collections have been greatly enriched during the year by two additions : A Catalogue of Arretine Moulds in the Museum Collection, by Professor George H. Chase, gives a complete record of the Museum collection and is illustrated by half-tone repro- ductions of all of the moulds. The catalogue is a quarto volume of 1 12 pages, with 32 illustrations, and is uniform in size and typography with the volume of lectures on Buddhist Art delivered at the Museum by Professor Anesaki and published by Houghton Mifflin Company with the coopera- tion of the Museum last year. A catalogue of the Collection of Prints from the Liber

Studiorum by J. M. W. Turner, bequeathed to the Museum by the late Francis Bullard, has been privately printed by

Mr. Grenville Lindall Winthrop. The volume is a large quarto of 204 pages, and is illustrated by photogravures reproducing each print. At Mr. Winthrop’s request the Museum has distributed a number of copies to persons and institutions which it regards as specially interested in the art of engraving. GALLERY BOOKS

The preparation of Gallery Books began two years ago. They now number twenty-five. The following were issued during the past year :

Netsuke. Sixty pages, sold at twenty-five cents. Installed August 18. The book has been entirely rewritten and provided with reproductions of Japanese and Chinese names and terms in native characters. It gives a descriptive account of every netsuke T 3 8 THE SECRETARY OF THE MUSEUM

at present shown, and is a compendium of Japanese folk-lore as expressed in these small carvings. Japanese Theatrical Costumes Worn in the No Drama. Eight pages, sold at twenty-five cents. Revised edition installed

June 1 6. An Introduction to a Special Exhibition of Japanese Prints by Buncho, Kiyonaga and Utamaro, opened in the

Renaissance Court on December 9. Nine pages.

The Lawrence Room. Four pages, sold at ten cents. Installed

April 8.

The Bremgarten Room. Five pages, sold at ten cents.

Installed April 8. The William Arnold Buffum Collection of Amber. Four pages, sold at ten cents. Installed April 17. Pewter. Eighteen pages, sold at ten cents. Installed Novem-

ber 9. This book consists of an introduction to the loan exhibition of European and American Pewter opened in the Forecourt Room

on November 9. Two editions were called for. Oriental Arms and Armor. Forty-nine pages, sold at twenty-

five cents. Installed May 10. This book is a complete catalogue of a special exhibition held during May and June.

Way Room : Egyptian Amulets. Thirteen pages, sold at ten cents. Installed August 31. The book gives an account of a permanent exhibit of typical Egyptian amulets.

The lending copies of the Bulletin , hitherto placed in the galleries because containing special studies of one or another exhibit, soon become worn and soiled. As they cannot be renewed indefinitely from a limited stock, the work of collat-

ing all similar Bulletin material has been begun with a view to substituting mimeograph copies for the printed articles, as occasion may offer. As any visitor may take a book from its pocket at the

doorway of a gallery and use it about the room, it is to be expected that every year a certain number will be taken

away by accident or design. In advance of experience it THE SECRETARY OF THE MUSEUM *39 was impossible to say how many, and as a precaution, the books were given in charge of the custodians on free days, a card in the pocket stating the fact. During 1916 but six of the books were lost, and since December 1 they have been left in the pockets on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as on other days. They are now as easily accessible to the majority of visitors as they were at first to the minority only.

REGISTRY OF LOCAL ART

The registry of municipal works of art having been brought up to date last year, only acquisitions of the current year have been recorded since, foremost among them the addi- tions made by Mr. Sargent to the series of mural paintings in the Public Library. The preparation of an illustrated Handbook of Public Art in Boston, based on the lists of works of art owned by the City prepared for the Art Commission, and on other data, has been begun. BENJAMIN IVES GILMAN, Secretary of the Museum. : 1

On week days during the year there were meetings 287 ; 27 docents (including four volunteer Docents, the Director and Assistant Director of the Fogg Museum, and one of the Trustees) met 4,352 persons; in 1915, 4,213 persons were met. Without asking for docent service, 2,380 persons from schools or colleges made 168 visits to the Museum.

On each Sunday, from October through June 18, two announced speakers met visitors in the galleries or lecture halls. As a rule these speakers are not members of the Staff, but persons who give their services, and the obligation under which they have placed the Museum is gratefully acknowl- edged. Seventy-four such talks were given, 34 Docents addressing audiences ranging from 15 to 250 persons. The total attendance was 3,685. During the past year a new and important form of Sunday Docent Service was inaugurated, all credit for which must be 142 the supervisor of educational work

given to Mrs. Charles E. Whitmore. It was announced that on Sunday afternoons a docent would meet three groups of visitors (not more than six in a group). For seventeen Sun- days in the late winter and spring, Mrs. Whitmore met those asking for such guidance. When in the autumn she found that she was unable to resume the task, Mrs. Scales kindly consented to carry on this special docent work, meeting

groups on seven Sundays. While it might be held that the energy expended upon ten, twelve, or even eighteen persons in an afternoon might better be employed in an announced talk which would attract three or four times as many people, two important points must be noted in favor of such informal service. First : the people composing the group are given of to the opportunity choosing the objects be discussed ; secondly, the talk, being informal, very nearly approaches the ideal of docent service — “ friendly guidance.” We have

been fortunate in our workers in this service : it is hoped that this informal guidance will be continued in the coming year. Through the kindness of the Sub-Committee of the Com- mittee on Education of the Woman’s Education Association, this Museum was represented at the meeting planned by the Sub-Committee for the annual gathering of the American Association of Museums, held in Washington, when a short paper was read as one of the series on “ A Study of Nations Through the Museum.” The three boxes containing a traveling exhibition of Egyptian objects from the Museum has again been sent on tour through the schools.

For the first time, the children of Annual Subscribers were invited to the Museum for a series of three story-hours. Stories, illustrated by lantern slides, were told to serve as an

introduction to a few objects in the Egyptian, Classical, and Japanese Galleries, to which visits were made at the close of each story. THE SUPERVISOR OF EDUCATIONAL WORK 143 WEEK DAY DOCENT SERVICE BY DEPARTMENTS Appoint- ments Egyptian Art 24

HUGER ELLIOTT, Supervisor of Educational Work REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE SCHOOL OF THE MUSEUM

To the Trustees :

Your Committee herewith presents its annual report for the year 1916, together with the report made by the Secre- tary to the Council for the school year ending in June, 1916. It is with deep regret that we record the death of Mrs. Joseph Prince Loud, an active member of the Administrative

Council since 1886. Her regular attendance at its meetings, her careful thought for the good of the School, and her intelligent interest in its welfare will never be forgotten by her associates on the Council. To the place left vacant by her death Mrs. Calvin G. Page, a painter of experience and reputation, has been elected. No changes have been made in the Faculty, except that Mr. Frederick W. Allen has been advanced from the position of Assistant to that of Assistant Instructor in Modeling. For students desiring illustration and ready for advanced work in this line, a special class has been provided, thanks to the courtesy of Elizabeth Shippen Green Elliott the invitation to her studio has been ; accepted with enthusiasm, and the class is reported to be making excellent progress. Probably as a result of the Mrs. David Hunt Memorial Fund for Instruction in Sculpture, the interest in this depart- ment has further increased. In the first term the Women’s Life Class in Modeling was full to the limit with a waiting list, the Men’s class was well attended it has been found and ; necessary to establish a second Women’s Life Class in the ! 5 ° SCHOOL OF THE MUSEUM afternoon during the second term. The number of pupils of drawing and painting who take courses in anatomy, perspec-

tive, and composition in the afternoon is larger than ever before several pupils from ; the painting classes work in modeling in the afternoon and a class in Still Life under ; Mr. Thompson has been established. The interest of the pupils in the work and the progress they are making seem very satisfactory. In the Department of Design the number of pupils has reached the maximum in its history with higher ; standards and more thorough work the School is securing students of greater average ability than was the case a few years ago. The total number of pupils in the School at the end of the first term was 219, one more than last year at this time. Miss Elizabeth Walsh was appointed Paige Traveling Scholar on the understanding that her work in Europe on this foundation would be postponed till conditions were more favorable. For the present she is working in the Master’s

Class, using the room provided by the School when it is not occupied by Mr. Cartotto. In view of the increased expense in operating the School the tuition in the Department of Drawing, Painting, and Modeling has been increased from $90 to $110 a year, to correspond with the tuition in the Department of Design. Although this change does not apply to students registered in the School last year, it seems probable that the increase will be sufficient, with the income of invested funds, to pre- vent any considerable deficit for the current year. ARTHUR FAIRBANKS, For the Committee of the 'Frustees on the School of the Museum. SCHOOL OF THE MUSEUM *5 1 SECRETARY’S REPORT

(September, 1915-JuNE, 1916) To the Chairman of the Council of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts.

Sir, — I have the honor of presenting the following report for the School year 1915-1916:

One new member was added to the teaching staff: Miss Alice J. Morse having been appointed instructor in the Department of Design in place of Miss Maclnnes, resigned. There were 234 students in the School, 78 being newcomers. The Departments of Drawing and Painting and Modeling had 148 pupils the Department of Design, 86. ; The courses of lectures given by Mr. Hale, Mr. Cross, Mr. Clark and Mr. Elliott were attended by 33 persons not registered in the School. The Paige Traveling Scholarship was awarded to Miss Elizabeth M. Walsh; the Cummings Traveling Scholarship to Mr. Leslie C. Chamberlain. Other scholarships were as follows: Helen Hamblen, Miss Jessie Parke; the Ellen K. Gardner Scholarships, Miss Flor- ence L. Spaulding and Miss Helen O. Chandler Hartford, Miss ; Katherine S. Williams; Norwich, Miss Katherine L. Mallett. Examples of work by the students in drawing and painting were lent, by request, to the America Federation of Arts for their travel- ing exhibition and, through Mr. Hale, to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The Etching Class was continued under the direction of Mr. Dwight C. Sturges, 19 pupils availing themselves of this privilege. Forty-three past pupils of the School received medals at the Panama-Pacific Exhibition, and prizes were also taken by past pupils at exhibitions held in the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Newport Art Association, the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts, and the Annual Exhibition of Northwestern Artists at St. Paul. An exhibition of the work of Aldro T. Hibbard, last holder of the Paige Traveling Scholarship, was held at the Boston Art Club in February. In the same month was held, in the Museum, the exhibition of Summer Work by students in the School. The first prize in painting was awarded to Miss Edith Park, the second to Mr. Trifillis, and a mention was awarded Mr. Harry Sutton. In modeling Miss Hazel Jackson received first prize, Miss Lydia Chapin the second. The students of the Department of Design made a large number of studies of costume for the Boston Teachers’ Shakespearian Festival these have since been shown, by request, in many schools ; :

!S2 SCHOOL OF THE MUSEUM

and libraries. Miss Allen and Miss Butts designed and made costumes for the sixty supernumeraries in the Forbes-Robertson production of Hamlet at Harvard. Miss Allen and Miss Welling- ton designed scenery and costumes for the plays produced at the New England Conservatory of Music. The classes in Interior Decoration designed and executed under the supervision of Mr. Elliott, a panel twenty-eight feet long by thirteen feet high for the building of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. This was exhibited in the Museum before being put in place. The Vocational Drawing Class for High School pupils was con- tinued, forty-six pupils being enrolled the value of this work has ; been clearly demonstrated. Respectfully submitted, HUGER ELLIOTT, Secretary of the Council.

Building and Grounds SUPERINTENDENT William Wallace MacLean REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Trustees of the Museum of Fine Arts:

I have the honor to submit my report for the year 1917: ADMISSIONS

The following is a comparative statement of admis- sions for the years 1916 and 1917:

Paid Free Total 1916 21,019 244,390 265,409

1917 1 5,909 208,826 224,735

The decrease in admissions in 1917 is probably attributable to the increase of interest in the war which more and more absorbs the thoughts of men.

ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS

The following is a comparative statement of the number of annual subscribers and the amount of annual subscriptions for the years 1916 and 1917:

Number of Annual Amount of Annual Subscribers Subscriptions 1916 1,796 $41,267.00 1917 1,742 36,491.17

The decrease in annual subscriptions is due partly to the death of two or three people who have given largely to this fund in recent years and partly to the entrance of the United States into the war with all its consequences on the income and expenditures of individuals. Much stress, however, should not be laid on this last cause, for the annual subscriptions were largely received before war was declared in April. I 2 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT CURRENT INCOME AND EXPENSES

The following is a comparative statement of income

and expenses for the years 19 16 and 1917 : —

iqi 6 1017 Increase or Decrease Unrestricted Income from

Trust Investments $83,065.29 $95,901.83 1. $12,836.54 Annual Subscriptions 41,267.00 36,491.17 D. 4 . 775-83 Admissions to Museum 2 5 - 54-75 3-977-25 D. 1,277.50 Miscellaneous 778.46 219.32 D. 559-14

Total Income 0 6 - 0 I. #' 3 . 3 5 5 $136,589.57 $6,224.07 Expenses 165,580.28 189,672.79 I. 24 , 092.51

Deficit 2I I. $35 > 4-78 $53,083.22 $17,868.44 Less Special Gifts and Appropriations to be

Applied to Expenses 21 2 - 21 I. , 452.92 44 - 55 23,099.29

Net Deficit $13,761.86 $8,531.01 D. $5,230.85

The increase in the deficit is attributable chiefly to an increase in expenses, largely due to the added cost of protection deemed advisable at the outbreak of the war; to the higher price of materials, notably coal; and to the cost of installing three large and important collections given to the Museum during the year.

The increase in the deficit is also due in part to the diminished annual subscriptions and paid admissions already noted. This total increase is not overcome, although fortunately it is largely counter-balanced, by the growth of unrestricted income from trust investments.

This deficit is reduced to a net deficit of $8,531.01 by special gifts and by income which the Museum is clearly entitled to apply to running expenses, but which it hopes presently to be able to apply to the purchase of works of art. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT 13

The deficit is of course a matter of much regret.

Yet your President is not seriously disturbed by it.

He believes on the one hand that the Museum is of

such value to the community that it will presently re-

ceive the support that it needs either from gifts or from bequests; and on the other hand that the regular run- ning expenses need not increase materially, at least until the Museum has the good fortune to increase

the size of its building. It is suitable, however, to add that while these expenses need not increase materially they doubtless will increase somewhat when more favorable financial conditions permit the carrying out of certain held-back improvements that will render more effective the service of the Museum.

A list of moneys actually received during 1917 through legacies, gifts, and annual subscriptions may be found in the report of the Treasurer on subsequent pages. The legacies amount to $262,167.45; the gifts of money practically for purchase of works of art, to $51,151.90; and the annual subscriptions towards the payment of running expenses to $36,491.17,—a total of $349,810.52. Of the amount received through lega- cies during the year the sum of $35,282.04 is unre- stricted entirely and the sum of $226,885.41 is re- stricted to various purposes.

ACQUISITIONS

The growth and welfare of the Museum depend not only upon receipts and expenses but also upon

works of art acquired. It is a pleasure to say that the ; ;

14 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT acquisitions of this year are of great and exceptional importance. A list of all works of art acquired during 1917 through legacies, gifts, and purchases may be found in the accompanying reports of those in immediate charge of the Departments. In these reports and in the cur- rent Bulletins detailed descriptions are given of many important objects acquired during the year. Among these objects may be mentioned the following: A collection of fifty-six paintings, pastels, and etch- ings by Jean Francis Millet and of nineteen pieces of Italian Renaissance sculpture was given to the

Museum by Mr. Quincy A. Shaw, Jr., and Mrs. Marian Shaw Haughton, trustees under an indenture made by Mr. Quincy A. Shaw, Sr., on the eleventh day of Octo- ber, 1907. These paintings and pastels form “the Shaw collection of Millets,” celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic; and they with the Renaissance sculp- ture make an exceedingly distinguished and important

addition to the exhibitions. It is needless to say that

the Museum is very grateful for this gift. It will

exhibit it presently in Galleries XI and XII of the painting galleries, filling both rooms. The entire collection of works of art hitherto lent to the Museum by Dr. Denman Waldo Ross has now become its property,— a new and brilliant instance of his long-continued generosity and service. This —

the so-called Ross collection — is notable not only for

its size and variety, but even more for its high quality. It includes many paintings, bronzes, and porcelains of far Eastern Art Oriental and European jewelry

Persian tiles, porcelains, and pottery, bindings and ;

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT !5 manuscripts many textiles, including tapestries, Per- ; sian and Chinese rugs, velvets and embroideries many paintings and drawings of Western Art; and an important Archaic Greek statue of the sixth cen- tury. The collection of works of art which Dr. Ross has hitherto had in his own house and elsewhere he has also given to the Museum, a gift of much interest and importance. Lastly a collection of objects of Indian Art, including illustrated Jaina manuscripts, Rajput and Mughal paintings, bronzes and sculptures, made by Dr. Coomaraswamy, has been bought and given to the Museum by Dr. Ross. This is an ex- ceedingly important gift in itself; and with the collec- tion of objects of Persian art given by Dr. Ross a year or two ago, and with the Goloubew collection of Persian miniatures acquired by purchase at about that time, strengthens and rounds out the Museum’s collection of the art of Asia. The collection of works of art which Mr. John Templeman Coolidge has hitherto lent to the Museum he has now given to it. This collection includes a beautiful torso of a maiden of the Hellenistic period, the large Boar Hunt painted by Snyders, two large panels of Flemish tapestry, and many objects of the Gothic and Renaissance periods. A panel of the meeting of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, attrib- uted to Giovanni Boccati, a painter of the fifteenth century, has been given to the Museum by Mrs. Walter Scott Fitz, — a distinguished addition to the group of old Italian paintings presented by her in recent years. The portrait of President John Quincy Adams by Copley that has long hung upon the walls as a loan i6 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT has now become the property of the Museum through the bequest of his grandson, Mr. Charles Francis Adams. This portrait has always been of exceptional interest to the public because of its historical as well as its artistic value. Three interesting marbles by Rodin have been given to the Museum by Mrs. Henry Osborn Taylor, from the estate of her brother, Samuel Isham, N. A. It will be noticed that works of art by that great sculptor will be much more difficult of acquisition hereafter, partly through the gift of his own large collection to the French Government and partly through his recent death. Objects of great interest have again been acquired this year through the excavations in Egypt under Dr. Reisner, excavations rendered possible by the great and continuing generosity of members of the Visiting Committee to the Egyptian Department and of one or two other friends. These objects still remain in Egypt, owing to the danger of transporta- tion. It is an added satisfaction to feel that while this work is carried on by the Museum to acquire objects of the art of one of the great nations of the past, it is incidentally rendering valuable service in ascertaining and verifying the history of that nation. A distinguished Chinese wooden statue of the sixth century A. D. and a Japanese album containing the portraits of the thirty-six poets, painted in colors, chiefly in the fifteenth century, have been acquired through the generosity of certain members of the Visiting Committee on Chinese and Japanese Art and of one or two others interested in that Department. Two important collections of engraved portraits REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT *7 and other prints, chiefly of the periods of Louis XIV and of Louis XVI, have been acquired through the bequests of Washington Irving Jenkins and of John Bird How. As in other years, many prints of high quality have been obtained through the generosity of members of the Visiting Committee to the Print Department and of other print lovers, supplemented by appropriations by the Museum. Generous as the

Print Committee is, the eager vital interest that it shows in the growth and development of this Depart- ment is not less helpful to the Museum. During the year the Museum itself has bought a few important objects of art. Among these are two portraits painted in the fifteenth century by Carpaccio, and a Chinese scroll of nine dragons painted in the thirteenth century by Ch'en Jung, for many years a valued possession in the Imperial House of China. The former was purchased before the entrance of the United States into the war; the latter was purchased after that event from the Francis Gardner Curtis Fund restricted to the purchase of “high grade objects of Oriental art.” At the suggestion of the Director the Museum has had the good fortune to arrange with Mr. John S. Sargent for the mural decoration of the hall of the rotunda, at the head of the main stairway,— a decora- tion, however, which will not be completed, it is thought, for some few years. The acquisition of the painting by Zuloaga of “My Uncle Daniel and His Family” and the acquisition of the large and distinguished collection of musical in- struments given by Mr. William Lindsey in memory —

i8 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT of his daughter, were both noted in the report of last year, although they had not actually come into the possession of the Museum. The former was described at length in the Bulletin of August, 1917; the latter in that of October, 1917. TRUSTEES

At the annual meeting of the Trustees held on

January iS and adjourned to February 1, 1917, the resignation of Mr. Francis Lee Higginson as Treas- urer was presented and accepted, to take effect upon the appointment of his successor; and the following

minute was voted :

“The Trustees have received the resignation of Mr. Francis Lee Higginson as Treasurer with the utmost regret. They desire to place on record their high appreciation of the sagacity, the devotion, and the untiring skill with which Mr. Higginson has conducted the affairs of the Treasurer’s office, grown many times more complex during the ten years of his incumbency. They accept Mr. Higginson’s resigna- tion in deference to his positive wish with deep reluctance and with sincere gratitude for the many and important services which Mr. Higginson has rendered to the Museum as its Treasurer.”

At a special meeting held on March 29, Mr. William

Endicott was elected Treasurer to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Higginson. A few weeks later, however, Mr. Endicott accepted the opportunity to render important service in France as a member of the War Council of the American Red Cross, and tendered his resignation. At a meeting held on May 31 the Trustees accepted this resignation; and at a meeting held June 14 elected Mr. William Crowninshield Endicott Treasurer of the Museum. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT 19

During the year Mr. Charles Knowles Bolton was appointed by the Boston Athenaeum and Professor George Henry Chase by Harvard College to represent those institutions on the Board; and Mr. William Francis Kenney became an ex-officio trustee through his election as President of the Trustees of the Boston Public Library.

MRS. ROBERT DAWSON EVANS

Mrs. Evans died on October 16, 1917. At the quarterly meeting of the Trustees held on October

18, the following minute was voted: —

“The Trustees of the Museum of Fine Arts desire to place on record their sense of the loss which not only the Museum, but the whole community, has suffered in the death of Mrs. Robert Dawson Evans. Among the many public benefactions of Mrs. Evans, her munificent gifts to the Museum of the Galleries for Paintings erected in memory of her husband, with the Hall of Tapestries adjoining, of the Fund for the Department of Modelling in the School of the Museum, given in memory of her mother, and of other permanent funds, are among the greatest and yield to none in usefulness. Her intelligent and heart-felt interest in the activities of the Museum will always be remembered by those who came in contact with her. Her bountiful liber- ality will be a pride and a permanent advantage to the Museum, an inspiration to our citizens and an honor to our City.”

Mrs. Evans gave the impression of one who took up to the full the power and responsibility that came to her with the death of her husband, a valued Trustee of this Museum, and of one, too, who had the wisdom to look upon that power and responsibility rather as a happiness than as a duty. Quite apart from the interest 20 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT and gratitude of the Trustees at her very generous bequest to the Museum, an ultimate bequest of her paintings and of a large, although at this time an inde- terminate amount of money, it is a very distinct pleasure to feel that in this gift, too, her generosity and sympathy will be a constant source of help and pleasure to the many who, year after year, visit the Museum. EDUCATION

The Museum has continued to interpret its col- lections by various talks and publications, and to instruct in the fine arts generally by its many lectures, its School, its Library, and the publications of its Staff. Interesting and comprehensive accounts of these very important activities may be found in the accompanying reports of the Director and of those in immediate charge of the educational work of the Museum. Your President has long thought that the Museum should add to its many forms of education a series of free lectures on the technique of art, lectures which, in demonstrating the mastery of the artist over the limitations of his material, would increase the knowl- edge and interest of the visitor in such works of art and contribute toward a better appreciation of their beauty. To see a mass of clay converted on a potter’s wheel into a beautiful form of pottery,— to see a blank piece of paper changed into one of the many kinds of prints, would give a far more certain and far more permanent impression than a merely verbal description can. The children at the seaside who stand at the shoulder of the artist in absorbed interest to watch the REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT 21

sea and sand develop on his canvas would not stay a moment to listen to an oral description of his method.

THE WAR AND THE MUSEUM

The decrease in the amount of annual subscriptions and the decrease in the number of visitors — set forth in the early pages of this report—are a marked feature of the year. Both are attributable to the war, which more and more engrosses the minds and hearts of

all. The decrease in subscriptions and, indeed, in the current gifts of money for the purchase of works of art, is of relatively slight importance. Upon this point the attitude that the Museum should take seems

clear. While it is entirely proper that the Museum

should bring its needs to the attention of its friends,

it is neither suitable nor wise that it should make any

urgent appeal for funds. It is not suitable because a Museum of Art should not strive to obtain money which otherwise might go to the great human needs of the war, and not wise because in making such an

attempt it would tend to alienate even its best friends.

Nor is this attitude likely to result in ultimate loss. Gifts of money are the outcome of interest. They will come again at the end of the war and all the larger if the Museum at this time stands aside.

The decrease in the number of visitors is a far more serious matter and brings up at once the question what larger service the Museum can render at this time. Upon this point also the attitude that the Museum should take seems clear—at least to your President. Men are absorbed today in the great tragedy and 22 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT the great courage of the war that presently, indeed, will show themselves not more on the battle-line of France than in the homes of America. This deep absorption is natural, but it by no means follows that it is wise. The larger service that the Museum can render lies in the realization that man has many and diverse interests far beyond the pale of war; and that the love of beauty, whether in the works of nature or in the works of man, is one of the deepest of these interests. Art is not a needless luxury. It is the expression of the aspiration of human nature. It is the manifestation of the spirit that speaks to the spirit. And who shall say that the spirit of man is of less value than his body? Are there not many who would rather have suffered much in the flesh than have been denied the love of poetry, of music, of painting? Art is a friendship that offers at once inspiration and sympathy, perhaps none the less effec- tively because it is silent. How can the Museum best offer this friendship? To urge attendance, even with the advocacy of a full belief in its value, might irritate and antagonize as easily as might the persistent offer of one’s sympathy upon an unwilling friend. Yet to fail to offer the help that the Museum is capable of giving would be as intolerable as to withhold the hand that one’s friend desires. Your President recommends to your consideration one course by which the Museum can render greater service. In these tragic days the Museum should be opened free to all who wish the help that art is privileged to give free entirely, or, if that be deemed unwise, free to ; a much greater degree than it is at present; and this not REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT 2 3 merely because it would increase presumably the num- ber of visitors, but rather because it would develop a deeper interest in the Museum through the substitu- tion of equality of privilege in place of the constant differentiation between those who pay and those who do not pay — that equality of privilege which goes far towards making a great public library the intellectual home of the people. Many arguments can be made against this proposition, perhaps the strongest is the additional expense at this time of heavy deficits. It is true that the money received through paid admissions would be lost; but this, amounting as it does to less than 3 per cent of the running expenses, is a small matter. It is true, also, that the money received from annual subscribers might be materially lessened; and this would be serious, because the subscriptions amount now to about 20 per cent of the expenses.

Yet be this as it may, the question is far greater than the question of money. It is a question of rendering the greatest service at the time of the world’s direst need. Although unaided by State or city, let us not, at least in these days, sell the service that it is possible for the Museum to render. Let us swing the doors wide and make the entrance as free as is the entrance to the parks of a great city. As they give the beauty of nature, let us see to it that the Museum gives, as far as in it lies, the beauty of art; let us make that beauty free to all. MORRIS GRAY.

Total . . $36,491.17 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR To The Trustees of The Museum of Fine Arts:

I have the honor to submit to you my eleventh annual report as Director, together with reports from those in immediate charge of the different Departments.

Perhaps in no previous year of its history has the value of the work undertaken by the Museum been so often con- sidered, even questioned, by those connected with it. The call to defend fundamental rights and ideals of our civilization has been promptly answered by those members of the Staff who found an opportunity for direct service to the State ; they are envied by those of us who continue our ordinary tasks. Naturally we have asked whether those tasks are of real service to the community, nor has the repeated question been difficult to answer. The preservation of those objects of art which enshrine the aspirations and ideals of the human spirit in the different ages of its highest endeavor, demands

our attention in the darkest days ; and the inspiration and hope and courage that even a few visitors receive from them today would justify the effort to keep them accessible to the public. In fact, while curious visitors have sought other satisfaction, the record of attendance in the Museum, par- ticularly in its study rooms, and the continued demand for friendly guidance, indicate that the service of the Museum to the public is possibly more important today than in normal times. Although large additions to the collections would not naturally be expected in such a year, the gifts of works of art, as indicated in the Staff reports herewith submitted, have been both numerous and extremely valuable, more valuable 74 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR than in any year but one since the Museum was founded. In view of the general policy of the Trustees the purchases have been limited to the few instances where objects most necessary for the collections could be secured at a reasonable price. In the President’s report (pages 13 to 18) the most important acquisitions receive special mention. The effect of the war on opportunities for purchase by the Museum is still in doubt. After three and a half years of the heaviest financial burdens in Europe, the number of important works of art being placed on the market is appar- ently rather less than in normal times, and the prices obtained for them in all the European centres go on increasing year by year. Importations to America have increased, I believe, but the high prices are in no sense dependent on American buyers. To the question whether paintings and other works of art will be cheaper as the result of the war, the answer is probably Yes and No; Yes, for the ordinary run of objects; No, for what the dis- criminating buyer and particularly the Museum of Fine Arts desires. Granted a period of the severest financial stress, if not financial collapse, such as may naturally result from present conditions, the prices for works of art in general will doubtless fall to an unprecedented degree. The fact remains that the number of works of art of the high quality desired by an art museum, which exist in private hands, is not large and is definitely limited. Except for a financial break-down which would absolutely cripple both the museum and the private buyer, the known shortage in the supply of great works of art that can come on to the market will hardly permit any great depreciation in price. My inference from these considerations is, first, that an art museum at the present time should buy only the best, and, secondly, that when very fine things are offered it can hardly expect to buy their like later for a much less price. : :

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 75 DEPARTMENTS

The work of the Staff is recounted in the reports which follow, but some points deserve special attention.

Print Department : The Print Collector s Quarterly, which the Museum has published for five years, has been suspended

for the duration of the war. The regret that such action is

deemed necessary is all the greater when one recalls the success of the Quarterly in developing an intelligent interest

in this form of art among a wide circle of readers and it is ;

most desirable that it be revived in some form when condi- tions are more favorable. Generous friends have again cooperated with the Trustees in purchasing such prints as could be secured to increase the value of the collection ; for in this department the difficulty of finding in the market

prints that are needed for the collection is even greater than the difficulty of finding funds for their purchase. In view of this fact, the collection of reproductions of very rare prints for the use of students cannot be overlooked in ; the field of early Italian engraving, material for the student is already nearly complete. During the year the cataloguing of prints has made good progress, and the work of storing them under proper conditions — that is, in suitable mats, boxes, and cases — has been carried forward. Classical Department The changes in the Fifth Century Room, begun last year, have been successfully completed. Plans for the Marble Room have been adopted, but on ac- count of expense the work has been stopped and the marbles are at present scattered through several Galleries. Mean- time the Curator has been at work on the Catalogue of Greek and Roman Sculpture. The completion and publica- tion of this catalogue would not only serve our public, but would also make known the great importance of this collection.

Chinese andJapanese Department I may again call atten- tion to the library of books in Chinese and Japanese which 7 6 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR is being gathered and catalogued for the student of Chinese and Japanese Art. At present the number of books is reported as 16,460. The repair of lacquers begun last year is approaching completion. The importance of the recent acquisitions is fittingly set forth in the report of the Curator.

Egyptian Department : Dr. Reisner continued through the spring his successful excavations in the vicinity of Napata, in the province of Dongola. His main attention was given to a group of pyramids erected for the Ethiopian kings of the XXV. and XXVI. (Egyptian) Dynasties, the same kings whose temples he had excavated near Gebel Barkal a year ago. Fifteen kings, of whom the names of only six were known before, have been identified and placed in chronological order, not to speak of other historical data for this period. The results for the Museum are no less impor- tant than for the student of history, particularly because our collection has not been strong in work of this period of the Egyptian renaissance. In one pyramid, that of Tirhaka, more than a thousand funerary figures (ushabti) were found, some of large size, many of fine workmanship in hard stone ; the figures of this type are of such excellence that they alone would justify the expense of the expedition during the past year. Five granite stelae of the kings were found, two granite altars, an important series of canopic jars, figures and cups of blue faience, and many stone vessels. Perhaps the most attractive objects were of silver and gold — two beautiful silver mirrors, the handles of which are decorated with figures of gods in high relief, gold brooches, gold sheaths for sceptres with delicate decoration, the gold ring of Tirhaka, etc. These objects were made by Egyptian royal workmen or by men trained in the same tradition and

with equal skill. While the pyramid excavations have not yielded large sculpture, the results supplement in a striking : : :

way the temple excavations of the previous year. Generous assignments from Dr. Reisner’s recent discoveries have been

made to this Museum, but unsafe conditions still prevent us from bringing the objects to Boston. Departments of Western Art The Department of Paint- ings has been readjusted to leave free two galleries for the splendid collection of works by Millet and of Renaissance Sculpture, which has come to the Museum from Mr. Quincy A. Shaw. Even apart from this gift, the paintings acquired by gift and purchase are of unusual value. A summary

catalogue of paintings belonging to the Museum is practically ready for the printer. In view of the almost daily demand

for it, I recommend that it be published as soon as possible. As for the Minor Arts, the Collection of Musical Instru- ments given by William Lindsey in memory of his daughter, Leslie Lindsey Mason, which was received by the Museum in the spring and placed on exhibition in the autumn, has occasioned great interest. A remarkable col- lection of textiles, pottery, jewelry, etc., from Mexico was lent for exhibition by Mr. and Mrs. Eman L. Beck. In general, the interest in the art of Europe and America, apart from paintings, is such as to raise the question whether more attention should not be paid to developing the collections in this direction. Section of Indian Art The only change in the Staff of the Museum consists in the appointment of Dr. Ananda K. Coomaraswamy as Keeper of Indian Art. A large part of Dr. Coomaraswamy’s private collection has been presented to the Museum by Dr. Ross and is being installed in the corridor leading to the Department of Chinese and Japanese Art, together with other examples of Indian Art given mainly by Dr. Ross. Department of Education The educational work of the Museum has gone forward with little or no diminution of —

7 8 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR interest. In this year of the war the effort to interest young children in art by means of stories that focus their attention and interest on some work of art deserves special attention. Thanks to the generous gift of a friend of chil- dren, parties of children were again brought to the Museum from school playgrounds and settlement houses for stories by Mrs. Scales and Mrs. Cronan the number was 6871 ; as against 6555 last year. Older children drop out and many new ones come each year, but the interesting feature of the work lies in the considerable number who have come for several years with increasing enthusiasm. Many of these children from poorer quarters,—how many we cannot know, are growing up to think of the Museum as a pleasant place to visit. During the winter, Mrs. Scales has told stories on fifteen Saturday afternoons to 99 1 children, as compared with 849 last year. These children accept in considerable num- bers the invitation to meet Mrs. Scales and her assistants on Saturdays after the stories are over, to explore the galleries with them. That any children walk for miles on cold and wet Saturdays to accept this invitation, as many do, bears testimony that the work is not fruitless. Miss Kallen’s in- tensive work with small classes from the settlement houses has also had a successful year. The principles of order and harmony and beauty which they are taught to find in art as well as in the world in which they live, are the keystone of education. For the regular courses of study in connection with the Museum School, Simmons College, and other institutions, the Museum only acts as host they do not belong to its ; educational work, but the value of such hospitality to other educational agencies is not to be lightly disregarded. In a sense, the same statement may be made of docent service for school pupils. During the past year 2438 pupils, as compared with 2380 in 1916, have joined parties visiting REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 79 some department with a docent. They come to supplement their regular school work by gaining some acquaintance with objects from the peoples and the periods which they are studying as a supplement to their school work it ; should prove of great value for students with eyes to see beauty ; it may be a revelation. Still it is primarily school work, with the museum as host, rather than proper work of an art museum as such. On the other hand, docent work with parties who come to seek acquaintance with works of art in the museum is not education in the narrow sense of the term, and it is essen- tially the task of the art museum. The Thursday confer- ences and the Sunday conferences, described in the report of the Supervisor of Education, are of the same character, in that they do not exist to impart information, but rather to assist persons to grasp, and in their own way to appreci- ate, works of art. The word “education,” with its emphasis on information, on knowledge about things, is doubtless unfortunate it belongs to the ; school and the college rather than to the art museum. That people may be helped to enjoy and to love music and literature and paintings can hardly be denied. Till some better word is found, education in this sense of the term is not foreign to the art museum ; rather it is its peculiar privilege. INSTALLATION

During the past year discussion in the press has more than once touched on principles of exhibition in museums.

That exhibitions should be attractive in appearance is as- sumed. Is an exhibition effective according to its complete- ness or according to the wisdom of selection of the objects it includes ? Shall the museum curator take the responsi- bility of selecting what the public should see, or shall he leave wide scope for the visitor’s power of choice ? In the So REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR case of a selected exhibition in an art museum, shall the emphasis be laid on the attractiveness, the beauty of the exhibition as a whole, or shall the arrangement lay emphasis on the one or two more important works of art in the group ? Or shall it offer as much variety as possible to the visitor in displaying different phases of art, probably in their historical relation ? These questions are in a sense academic, yet the problems are considered every time an exhibition is placed in an art gallery and each museum, if not each individual curator, ; treats them with different emphasis. The extreme cases are clear. In every museum selection for exhibition is necessary. For the curator in an art museum to decide what forms of art the public ought to see, and to banish other forms would be intolerable it would be equally intolerable for him to ; crowd the galleries with all kinds of objects in order that the visitor might be quite free to admire, one a “ chromo,” another a painting by Velasquez. To demand that the curator use his paintings like bits of glass in a mosaic to produce some beautiful composite picture is almost as absurd as to permit him to treat works of art as “specimens” to be arranged in a scientific system. The extreme cases are clear, but the question of emphasis is by no means clear, and nor- mally it must be worked out by experiment in each individual case. The ordinary procedure in our own Museum is first to locate in a gallery the pieces that are important, so that each impress the visitor secondly, will have its best opportunity to ; to surround them with works of art not too unlike them in spirit and intention,— not monotonously like them nor yet unfriendly to them in tone and scale and design,— which may tend to deepen the impression of the important piece and at

the same time permit the interest in it to react favorably on

works of art around it and thirdly, to revise the whole the ; arrangement in order to secure as attractive an effect as REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 81

possible in the gallery as a whole, without interfering too much with the effectiveness of each section of the exhibition. ” When the word “ important is used it means not so much the aesthetic judgment of the curator, as his judgment of the proved value of a work of art in its impression on this and earlier ages. He must select for his exhibition, and the results of his selection are patent to the visitor at the same ; time his effort for variety leaves abundant scope for the visitor’s own power of selection. He needs artistic capacity of no mean grade, not himself to create a gallery which shall be in itself a work of art, but rather so to enter into the

spirit of each object he displays that it will have its best

chance to impress the visitor, first as part of a group, and secondly in and for itself. He seeks to remove every jarring note, he follows principles of order and harmony and proportionate relations through each gallery as a

whole such effort, however, is undertaken not primarily ; to make his gallery a work of art, but in the first in- stance that every factor in the exhibition may favor the objects, each individual object, displayed in the gallery. The essential difference between display in a shop window

and display in an art gallery is that the former, as a whole, should attract the attention of the passer-by, while

in the latter case the attractiveness of the whole is quite subordinate to the impressiveness of each object as part of the whole. Some galleries in this Museum have been criticised because they were cold and bare on the other hand, some galleries ; are criticised because they are confusing from the multiplic-

ity of small objects shown others still because some attempt ; has been made to avoid bareness. The same critic has at one time complained of the lack of emphasis on important things, at another time because the visitor had no chance to choose for himself what appealed to him as of real value. 82 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR

Some intelligent visitors ask for more isolation of fine works of art in individual cases or perhaps in alcoves more ; commonly the effort for such isolation has been criticised because alcoves or small cases made the effect of the gallery unpleasant, or because small rooms like those for prints and engravings seemed like cells. Such criticism, I believe, should be invited as a means of testing the results for the visitor of the curator’s methods of exhibition. But the very fact that these criticisms are so often contradictory may be regarded as evidence that the principles of exhibition are in general correct.

The duty of a Museum of Fine Arts in the present crisis is not at first sight clear. Granted that every precaution should be taken to preserve works of art for more auspicious days, should its exhibitions be kept open to the public now ? To close its galleries would save expense and release man- power for more utilitarian ends, if not for actual war work. On this ground European museums distant from the seat of war are in many instances closed, or are open to the public only one small section at a time. Further, interest in other things is quite sure to reduce the attendance at museums by eliminating at least the mere seeker for curiosities, till its halls may seem empty and useless for the public. Recently

I visited a large museum in another city and in the whole building, which covered acres of ground, I found at the moment but three visitors. On the other hand, at most times there are visitors to our art museums in fair numbers. So long as visitors come for relief from the oppression of the war to seek the pure satisfactions of art, so long as things of the spirit are deemed more important for the life of the nation than material benefits, so long as even for the war spiritual forces may over-balance accumulations of material force, the duty of the art museum seems clear. It may REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 83 shorten its hours, it may open but one section at a time, but so long as it is in any way possible to keep its doors open it will not close them entirely.

Through the generosity of a member of the Visiting Committee the collection of reproductions has been strength- ened by the addition of numerous photographs (of the same size as the originals) of Fifteenth Century Florentine Engravings in the Albertina, Vienna, and in the British Museum. The greater number of these prints have never hitherto been reproduced in a form suitable for the purposes of study. The Museum now possesses originals or reproduc- tions of every Florentine print described by Mr. Arthur M.

Harvard Lectures. A series of lectures and conferences on the History of Florentine Engraving was given by the Curator in the Print Study Room. Additional work was done at the Fogg Art Museum, and each student prepared a report on the general subject and a thesis on some particular group of prints. Other students concentrated on the Revival of Etching in the Nineteenth Century, with special relation to the work of the “Men of 1830 ” and their important successors.

The February, April, October, and December numbers of

The Print-Collector s Quarterly have been published. An Index of the entire series, Volumes I-VII, is in preparation and will be issued shortly. The publication of the Quarterly will be suspended for the duration of the War.

DEPARTMENT OF CLASSICAL ART

To the Director of the Museum :

Sir, — I have the honor to submit to you the thirty-second annual report of the Department of Classical Art.

ACQUISITIONS

No purchases are to be recorded for this year. The gifts of Mr. Coolidge and Dr. Ross have added to the permanent collections two important works of Greek sculpture which have been exhibited as loans for a number of years. The gold necklace from Crete, given by Miss Rose Lamb, is a noteworthy addition to the small collection of Minoan jewelry already owned by the Museum.

DEPARTMENT WORK

The changes in the arrangement of rooms on the main floor of the Classical Wing, referred to in last year’s report, have only partially been carried out during this year. The three-sided Greek relief is now installed in an alcove at the east end of the Fifth Century Room, on a new pedestal and under a ceiling light. The two Marble Rooms have been transformed into one room measuring twenty-seven by forty feet, as a result of the removal of the thin partition wall and the barrel vaults which it supported. Four new doors have been cut from the Balcony to the Fifth and Fourth Century Rooms and the Marble I'toom, and two former doors have been blocked up. Owing to prevailing conditions the facing of the walls of the new Marble I^oom with stone has had to be postponed. The sculptures are for the time being exhibited in other rooms, many of them out of their historical sequence and in an unfavorable light. While this situation is to be regretted, there is compensation in the fact that the exhibition of the best Greek marbles will eventually be greatly improved. These and other changes in installation have caused the moving, at least once, and in some cases two or three times, 94 CLASSICAL ART of about 1800 objects during the year. During the last quarter the Curator was able to give most of his time to the

Catalogue of Sculpture. The work is so far advanced that its completion in the coming summer can be confidently predicted. L. D. CASKEY, Curator. DEPARTMENT OF CHINESE AND JAPANESE ART

To the Director :

Sir : — I have the honor to submit the eighteenth annual report on the Department of Chinese and Japanese Art. ACQUISITIONS

The quality and number of the objects which have been added to the Collections of this Department during the past twelve months entitle the year 1917 to consideration as one of the most important periods in the history of the Museum, — comparable, in a measure, with the year 1911, when the Bigelow Gift and the Weld Bequest were received. Fore- most among the purchases,-— and, indeed, among the posses- sions of the Museum,— is Ch'en Jung’s Picture of Nine Dragons, a Chinese, Sung dynasty painting of supreme quality, the work of an acknowledged master, which has come down to us quite perfectly preserved and accompanied by an authentic record of appreciation covering, from the year 1244 until now, the picture’s long life of nearly seven hundred years. We were fortunate, too, in being able to secure the album of drawings of the Thirty-six Poets, by the fifteenth century Japanese painter Tosa Mitsusuke, an admirable specimen of a school of portraiture hitherto practically unrepresented in collections and in the late sixth our ; century Chinese wooden statue of a Bodhisattva we have acquired a distinguished example of a kind of sculpture which can hardly have survived in any great quantity from an antiquity so remote. Among the gifts, the group of Chinese, Japanese and Tibetan works of art added to the Ross Collec- tion is preeminent, both in quality and in variety and the ; 9 6 CHINESE AND JAPANESE ART three Chinese bronzes given by Mrs. Fitz, as well as the two given by Dr. Bigelow, also require special mention. Among the loans, the Chinese porcelains lent by Mrs. Forbes, the Chinese pottery lent by Mr. Curtis, and the Korean pottery bowl lent by Mr. Wetzel have been valuable additions to our exhibition series.

I venture to express here the Department’s deep sense of gratitude for its share in the generosity of the friends of the Museum. PURCHASES Bronze.

The personnel of the Department has undergone one change in the appointment of Miss Helen B. Chapin to the position formerly held by Mr. Harold f. Thompson, who, soon after the declaration of a state of war between the United

States and Germany, enlisted in the Federal Service and is now with a hospital unit in France. During the year one hundred and fifty-seven paintings, four hundred and thirty prints, three pieces of sculpture, twenty-six pieces of jade, ninety-nine pieces of pottery, and twenty-seven pieces of lacquer have been put on exhibition ; the walls of the Corridor of Bronzes have been colored, and the exhibitions, both there and in Gallery IV, have been reinstalled. A special exhibition of recent acquisitions, including purchases from China and pieces selected from the Ross Collection, was installed in the Forecourt Gallery. Otherwise, the activities of the Department have been devoted largely to work on the collections and to the regis- tration of the unusually large number of current accessions. In addition, an inventory of our Chinese and Japanese books has been completed, showing a total of sixteen thousand four hundred and sixty volumes, including two thousand six hundred and eighty-eight which have been acquired during

of this total all but about one thousand have the year ; and been entered in the accession books of the Museum Library. CHINESE AND JAPANESE ART IOI

Over three hundred titles have been catalogued, and a useful index of unauthorized forms of one thousand eight hundred and twenty-two Chinese ideographs has been compiled. Eighty-seven pieces of lacquer have been repaired one ; hundred and ninety-seven prints have been mounted six ; screens, eighteen kakemono four panels and two makimono , have been repaired and remounted one hundred and eigh- ; teen photographs and seventy-five Indian paintings have been mounted the walls and cases of Gallery IV have been ; papered, and the shoji throughout the Department have been repapered. Six hundred and seventy-six visitors, exclusive of Museum officials, have been received, and of these sixty- seven brought in objects for examination. In this connec- tion it is gratifying to notice that in 1915 one hundred and people visited the Storage to see paintings in seventeen ; the number increased to one hundred and ninety -three 1916 ; and in 1917 there have been two hundred and fifty-three. One hundred and thirty-nine copyists have been recorded in the galleries ten outside collections have been visited thirty ; ; docent appointments, four lectures and two conferences have been given one note and one article have been written for ; the Bulletin. JOHN ELLERTON LODGE, Curator. SECTION OF INDIAN ART

The Museum of Fine Arts has been the first in America to organize a Department of Indian Art, and possesses a collection of Indian paintings and bronzes unequalled out-

side India. The greater part of this collection is the gift of

Dr. Denman Waldo Ross. Almost all the small bronzes,

the Jaina MSS., all the Rajput paintings and some of the Mughal paintings are from the Coomaraswamy collection,

and were presented to the Museum by Dr. Ross, April 5, 1917. Another element in the collection is represented by that part of the Goloubew collection (purchased from the Bartlett fund and by special subscription in 1914)

which is of Indian origin, and this consists of Mughal paint- ings, including the “ Darbar of Akbar.” Much of the mate-

rial in these collections has been already studied and pub- lished in Europe. The remainder of the collection consists of previous gifts by Dr. Ross, Mr. Frederick Lothrop Ames, and others, and loans, particularly of jewelry by Miss Louise M. Nathurst, as well as purchases, amongst which are some made through Dr. Coomaraswamy from the Harriet Otis Cruft fund in 1917. The greater part of the collection is now arranged and exhibited in the “ Indian Corridor,” leading from the

Rotunda to the Chinese sculpture. It consists of :

Buddhist and Hindu stone sculptures (fourth to fourteenth century A. D.). Buddhist bronzes (eighth to eighteenth century). Hindu (Brahmanical) bronzes (tenth to eighteenth century). Jaina MSS. (fifteenth to eighteenth century). Rajput paintings (sixteenth to nineteenth century). Mughal paintings (sixteenth to eighteenth century). INDIAN ART 103

Textiles (fifteenth to nineteenth century). Jewelry (seventeenth to nineteenth century). Metal work and other decorative art (seventeenth to nineteenth century) making a total of approximately objects exhibited ; 440 and 1130 objects reserved for study.

Amongst the objects of unique importance are three Buddhist bronzes from Ceylon, of the eighth and ninth centuries. Of these the small Avalokitesvara is, perhaps, the most important single piece in the whole collection. Several Buddhist and one Brahmanical figure from Nepal or Bengal of ninth or tenth century date are also of special importance. Even without the principal pieces, however, the collection of Indian bronzes would be noteworthy. Some of the later pieces are inscribed and dated. Of stone sculpture the magnificent Cambodian head of Buddha and the Javanese basalt figure of Durga slaying the Asura Mahisa,— the latter representing Indian colonial art of about the eleventh century — both gifts of Dr. Ross, deserve special attention. The Jaina MSS have been the subject of a special note in the Bulletin. They exhibit the continuance of a tradition as old as that of Buddhism itself, and an execution that is exceedingly accomplished, while, at least in some instances, the leading theme of the turning 01 ..he will to denial mani- fested in the lives of the “ Finders of the Ford” is still stated with conviction. Rather particular mention must be made of the Paintings. Until a few years ago but little distinction was drawn between the painting of India and that of Persia, those

Indian paintings which are now called Mughal being dis- tinguished, if at all, as Indo-Persian, while those now called Rajput were not represented in any European or American collections. Mughal painting, however — that is to say, the portfolio paintings, chiefly portraits and scenes of historical 104 INDIAN ART interest, executed under the patronage of the Great Mughals, Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jahan, with the continuation under Aurangzib and his immediate successors, covering roughly the period i 580-1 750 A. D. — is now clearly distinguished from Persian. This is an eclectic art, in which the Persian is only one, though possibly the most important, of many elements, the other factors being chiefly indigenous Indian and European. It has been found that three-fourths of the

Mughal painters were Hindus. The art is entirely a produc- tion of the court and forms a brief episode in the history of Indian art not closely connected with the broad lines of

Indian life or thought. It is secular and realistic. It pro- vides us, however, for a century and a half with a unique

gallery of portraits of prominent men : and the Museum is to be congratulated on possessing a very fine series of these. Amongst the Mughal paintings the Darbar of Akbar (painted for Jahangir about 1620), the portrait of Malik 'Ambar (negro leader of the Marathas against Jahangir), the drawing of a Dying Man (original sketch for a picture now in the Bodleian, — perhaps the finest Mughal work extant), and other portraits, as well as certain admirable drawings of animals — veritable character studies in the same sense as the human portraits — are to be specially noticed. The identification of the portraits and the names of the painters are being studied in the Department. Rajput painting represents a quite distinct tradition — not at all eclectic, but essentially national, religious and traditional. It descends from older Indian classical art, modified only in so far as it is executed mainly on paper, and in subject matter in so far as Brahmanical themes have formally supplanted those of Buddhism, with which they formerly shared the painters’ attention. Many of the Raj- put paintings, however, are still of large size and are designed or used as mural decorations. This is not in any sense an —

INDIAN ART io 5 art of representation, but an art of ideas, and thus “ idealis- tic.” It is essentially an art of line, in the same sense that this is true of the painting of Ajanta : and this character is most exquisitely shown in the many uncolored and partly colored drawings in the Museum collection. When these are enlarged by projection one sees how markedly the con- tinuity of the long brush strokes differs from the almost stippled technique of the Mughal realists. Space will not permit here a discussion of the character- istic themes of Rajput painting, but it may be remarked that in its preoccupation with the cult of Krishna and the mystic interpretation of human love, it presents to us a transcendental view of life analogous to that which Chinese art in its representation of nature, and particularly landscape, develops from a similar foundation. To resume, the Museum now possesses the materials for a logical presentation of Asiatic art as a consistent whole- a unity in that sense which Mr. Okakura so often insisted upon. It is precisely the art of India, linked as it is on the one hand with that of Persia, and on the other hand with that of China — the whole foundation of Chinese Buddhist art being formally Indian, — which needs to be represented in any museum pretending to deal fundamentally with the

art of the Far East : and it is only due to various accidents that the art of India, which is to so great extent an art of

sources , has been so long neglected.

ANANDA K. COOMARASWAMY, Keeper. DEPARTMENT OF EGYPTIAN ART

To the Director :

Sir : — I have the honor to submit to you the fifteenth annual report of the Department of Egyptian Art.

GIFTS Coptic glass dish. Sacred eye amulet. Small stone head. Dr. Denman Waldo Ross. LOANS Pottery “libation bowl.” Miss Anna Dixwell Slocum. Portrait head of an Egyptian king, Eighteenth Dynasty. Head and shoulders from statuette of a priestess, Nineteenth Dynasty. Joseph Lindon Smith.

The work of the Museum’s Egyptian Expedition was carried on during the entire season of 1916-1917 at Gebel Barkal in the Sudan, and Dr. Reisner reports that many objects of Museum interest and value were found. The Expedition has again started work on the same site. Dr. Reisner has been granted leave of absence from the Museum for work in Egypt during the season of 1917-1918. The three traveling cases of small objects, arranged for exhibition and study in the public schools of Boston, were lent during October to the Boston Normal School. The work of treating the pottery and bronze vessels to withstand the climatic changes of this country has been carried on during the year and is now practically completed. Respectfully submitted for the Department, HANFORD L. STORY, Registrar. DEPARTMENT OF PAINTINGS To the Director:

Sir, — I have the honor to submit my twelfth annual report of the Department of Paintings. ACQUISITIONS

The importance and variety of the paintings acquired both by gift and purchase make the year notable. PURCHASES

As usual the list of purchases is comparatively brief, but it includes two of the rare portraits by Vittore Carpaccio, and an important example of the work of Ignacio Zuloaga (M. F. A. Bulletin, Aug., 1917). The portraits by Carpaccio were described by Tancred Borenius in the Burlington Magazine, June, 1913. They are faithful portrayals of a Venetian senator and his wife, and although the sentimental qualities which have made Carpaccio’s angels, Madonnas, and virgin saints so popular may be missed, the rich beauty of his color and the serious character of his matured art are here revealed.

The complete list of purchases follows :

My Uncle Daniel and His Family, by Ignacio Zuloaga. Caroline Louise Williams French Fund. Portrait of Mrs. Cushing, by Howard Gardiner Cushing. Ellen Kelleran Gardner Fund. Winter Scene, by H. Staquet. Abbott Lawrence Fund. Portrait of a Man, by Vittore Carpaccio; Portrait of a Lady, by Vittore Carpaccio. Edward Wheelwright Fund. GIFTS

The list of important gifts is long, including, besides

the gifts of individual pictures, two collections : one from ;

io8 PAINTINGS

Dr. Ross of thirty-five paintings, — among them four Italian portraits, a portrait by Romney, a very fine Dutch still-life, and ten water-colors by Dodge Macknight the other from ; the late Quincy A. Shaw, through Mr. Quincy A. Shaw, Jr., and Mrs. Marian Shaw Haughton, of twenty-six paintings, twenty-seven pastels, and three etchings by Jean Francois

Millet. This is one of the most significant, if not the most significant gift the Department of Paintings has ever received, and gives the Museum an unsurpassed representation of the work of Millet. In accordance with the terms of the gift, the collection is to be kept together in two adjoining rooms. Mrs. W. Scott Fitz has continued her long series of benefactions this year she has given a dodecagonal panel by Giovanni Boccati da Camerino, representing on one side the meeting of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, and on the other a winged Cupid (M. F. Bulletin April, Mr. A. , 1917). J. Templeman Coolidge has given the large Boar Hunt by Frans Snyders which has hung in the Museum as a loan since 1889; Mrs. Henry S. Grew has given a beautiful, sunny landscape by Theodore Rousseau. Two portraits by John Singleton Copley which for many years had been lent to the Museum, have now been bequeathed to it : the portrait of Mr. Rogers (?), bequeathed by Morrill Wyman, and the handsome portrait of John Quincy Adams, bequeathed by Charles Francis Adams. The latter portrait, painted in 1795 when the sitter was twenty-seven years old and minister at the Hague, is one of the most attractive portraits of men ever painted by Copley. The portrait by Gilbert Stuart of Mrs. George Williams (Lydia Pickering) has been given in memory of her great-granddaughter, Miss Ellen Williams.

Mrs. J. Montgomery Sears lent eleven pictures, — including a portrait and a land- scape by John S. Sargent, “The Street Singer,” by Manet, and five very interesting pastels, two by Manet, two by Degas, and one by Besnard; Mrs. John M. Longyear lent six pictures, — two by Max Bohm, two by Charles W. Hawthorne, one by Mary Cassatt, and one by Gari Melchers Mr. Robert Treat ; Paine, 2d, lent two paintings by Monet, one by Le Sidaner, one by Gaston La Touche, and a landscape by Sargent Mrs. ; Nathaniel Thayer repeated the courtesy of recent years by lending nine pictures from her collection.

The work of cataloguing and mounting the accessions and loans has gone on as usual. Two special exhibitions have been held in connection with

the Department of Western Art : one of the Recent Gifts of Dr. Denman Waldo Ross and Mr. John Templeman Coolidge, and one of the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Eman L. Beck. Two thousand, two hundred and ninety-four people have made use of the Textile Study either for study purposes or pleasure, or to get information about their own possessions. WESTERN ART: TEXTILES ”9

Seven hundred and eighty-seven people have worked from the textiles in the galleries, and by request the Assistant in Charge has made thirteen visits to private houses. Duplicate textiles have been lent to two museums, two colleges, one art school, and three high schools. Twenty-one docent appointments have been met by the Assistant in Charge, and she has given six lectures: one on tapestries to the Newport Art Association, one on rugs under the auspices of the Norwich Art Association, and four to the students of the summer school of Simmons College.

Beginning October I the Assistant in Charge was granted a partial leave of absence for six months, and Miss Valborg Svendsen was engaged as a temporary assistant in the department. SARAH GORE FLINT, Assistant in Charge. :

DEPARTMENT OF WESTERN ART: EXCEPT TEXTILES

To the Director of the Museum :

Sir, — I have the honor to submit the following report for the past year

ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions to the number of 1224 have been received in the Department and catalogued. Of these 9 were purchases and 1243 were gifts. The most important gifts were those of Dr. Denman Waldo Ross and Mr. John Templeman C'oolidge. Dr. Ross's gift con- sists of 2 1 2 objects —jewelry, Persian pottery and miniatures, metal work, furniture, etc., — many of which had been on exhibition in the Museum; Mr. Coolidge’s gift, of 30 pieces of European metal work, sculpture, glass and pottery, all of which had been shown previously in the galleries. A special exhibition of selections from these two gifts was arranged in the Forecourt Room opening on May 3 and continuing for three weeks.

To the Director of the Museum :

I have the honor to submit the following report for the past year on duties assigned to me by the Trustees apart

from the Secretaryship of the Board :

PUBLICATIONS

The Annual Report was issued April 6. The Bulletin and the Print-Collector s Quarterly have appeared as usual. The illustrated lists of acquisitions by the Museum, which were begun in the Bulletin of June, 1916, have been continued. Four editions of 5,000 each of the Leaflet Guide have been called for during the year. The Guide was offered free to all ticket-holders and sold at one cent each on free days. Inserts giving notes of changes between the editions have numbered fourteen. They have been doubled in size in order to give place on the back for plans of both floors of the Museum.

I was absent on leave for most of the spring until May 1, and during this absence completed a series of papers on museum administration, in progress for a number of years, entitled “Museum Ideals of Purpose and Method.” The Committee on the Museum asked to see the manuscript, and after examining it voted to include the book among Museum publications. The appearance under the auspices of the Museum of a collection of individual studies on this topic is an honor deeply appreciated, and I desire to express my sincere gratitude for it. The book is to be issued in January. 142 THE SECRETARY OF THE MUSEUM

A catalogue of the Shaw Collection of Sculptures of the Italian Renaissance and Paintings by Jean Francois Millet has been in preparation during the last few months of the year and is to appear when the gift is shown.

Mr. Shaw and an account of his life.

GALLERY BOOKS

No new books have been installed during the year, the completion of several being delayed by the mass of available material. A revision of the book of the Lawrence Room was installed

July 3- In order to the ready accessibility of the information gathered in Gallery Books, it is card-indexed by the registry numbers of the objects commented upon. The index was brought up to date during the summer and now covers all the books written.

Department Bulletin Books, each collecting all the Bulletin material referring to a single Department, have been pre- pared for the Chinese and Japanese Department and for

Western Art. It is intended to complete the series for the other Departments and keep the books up to date. A number of Bulletins containing articles relating to important exhibits have been added to those previously kept in the galleries for the use of visitors.

REGISTRY OF PUBLIC ART

The Guild Steps on the Common and the Saint Sauveur Monument at King’s Chapel are the most important new acquisitions of works of art by the city during 1917. They have taken their place in the Registry. THE SECRETARY OF THE MUSEUM M3

The proposed Handbook of Public Art has not yet found a publisher. More favorable conditions in the trade will be awaited. Meanwhile the material for the publication is becoming more abundant. BENJAMIN IVES GILMAN, Secretary of the Museum. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE SCHOOL OF THE MUSEUM

To the Trustees :

Your Committee herewith presents its annual report for

the year 1 91 7, together with the Secretary’s report to the Council for the school year ending in June, 1917. Your Committee reports with deep regret the resignation

from the governing Council of the School of Mrs. J. Mont- gomery Sears. During the twenty-one years of service on this board her constant interest in the problems of the School,

her high ideals for its development and generous use of time

in its service are gratefully remembered by those who served with her. Mr. Frank W. Benson, for many years an instructor of

painting, and still a Visiting Instructor, has been elected a member of the Council. His intimate knowledge of the work of the School has proved of special value to the Council.

The Faculty has lost one of its most honored members in the death of Bela Lyon Pratt. The class in Modelling was

first established when he came to the School as Instructor in 1893. In the earlier years the class was often limited to two or three pupils under his wise, competent instruction ;

the class developed, and the interest in it increased, until last year there were three classes, including nineteen students. During his illness the classes were conducted by his former pupil, the Assistant Instructor, Mr. Frederick W. Allen. The School has been fortunate in securing Mr. Charles Grafly of Philadelphia to take charge of the Modelling classes, with Mr. Allen as Assistant Instructor. Your Committee again desires to express its gratitude to SCHOOL OF THE MUSEUM <45

Elizabeth Shippen Green Elliott for her courtesy in continu- ing a class at her studio for advanced students in Illustration.

Mr. Walter Gay and Mr. John S. Sargent have been reap- pointed advisers for Paige Scholars in Europe, although conditions at present do not permit holders of the Scholarship to work abroad. The number of students in the School during the year 1916-1917 was 232; in the previous year, 234. For the current year the number in this School, as in other schools, is decidedly smaller. On the service flag of the School are twenty-four stars, representing students who have gone from the School into the service of the government. Last June the Department of Architecture at the Institute of Technology arranged an exhibition of work by holders of scholarships in the fine arts in Boston in this exhibition ; work by students holding nine endowed scholarships in the Museum School was included. In recognition of the Fortieth Anniversary of the founding of the School, former students were asked to contribute $2 each toward a permanent fund. The amount received was nearly $1,000, and was made up to $1,000 by two friends of the institution. The problem of financing a school with no larger invested funds than our School in this period of the

war is a serious one. Your Committee proposes to study the problem and make recommendations for your consideration at a subsequent meeting of this Board. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR FAIRBANKS, For the Committee of the Trustees on the School of the Museum. :
